Problems solved by technology

Pressureless sintering has high production capacity and is suitable for mass production, but the pressureless sintering temperature is high, the holding time is long and compaction is difficult, so the overall cost is high
The high sintering temperature consumes a lot of electric energy when sintering boron carbide ceramics without pressure and hot pressing, the preparation cycle is long, and the production cost is high, which makes it difficult for boron carbide ballistic ceramics to be used in large quantities in weapons and equipment
In addition, when sintered at such a high temperature, the crystal grains will rapidly coarsen and grow, and the pores are difficult to discharge, resulting in a large number of pores remaining in the material. 3-5μm in diameter), the density is not high, which results in low strength and toughness of boron carbide ceramics
Therefore, it is difficult to achieve a balance between high mechanical properties and low production costs in the current preparation methods of boron carbide ceramics.
