Abstract

An investigation of the sintering behavior of ZrB2 powder with Fe and Cr (0 to 20 wt%) addition was conducted. It was observed that Fe addition helps to enhance the density of ZrB2 only up to 10 wt%. Further addition of Fe degrades the sintering by segregation of Fe-rich phases. Formation of a eutectic phase containing a Fe:Zr ratio of 92.57:7.43 was also found in Fe-added samples. The addition of Cr to a ZrB2 matrix was found to result in swelling of the samples, leading to several cracks.
