Abstract

In the present study, a method based on sulfuric acid dehydration of sugar was developed to synthesis a precursor material, which can yield B 4C/TiB2 composites at much lower temperatures compared to traditional carbothermal methods. The precursor material for pure B4C and B4C/TiB2 composites were heat treated at 1650°C under Ar and Ar+H2 atmosphere. Then the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and crystallized B4C and B 4C/TiB2 composites can be obtained at 1650°C.
