AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, lanthanum hexaboride powder has large grain size, a complex preparation process, and expensive raw materials, which limits its widespread application.

Method used

Lanthanum hexaboride nanoparticles were synthesized at low temperature using the NaBH4 reduction method and then mixed with zirconium diboride powder. The resulting lanthanum hexaboride and zirconium diboride ultrafine-grained composite ceramics were prepared by high-temperature and high-pressure sintering, thus controlling the grain size and properties.

Benefits of technology

A fine-grained, high-hardness lanthanum hexaboride and zirconium diboride ultrafine-grained composite ceramic was prepared. The raw materials were inexpensive, the reaction was simple, and it was easy to carry out industrial production. The grain size was reduced from micrometers to nanometers, and the hardness was increased to 19-30 GPa.

Abstract

The application discloses a lanthanum hexaboride zirconium diboride composite ceramic and a preparation method thereof. The molar ratio of lanthanum hexaboride to zirconium diboride in the composition of the lanthanum hexaboride zirconium diboride composite ceramic is between (60-90):(40-10), and the average grain size is 20-1200 nm. The preparation method is simple in process, low in raw material price, and convenient for industrial production by using industrial production equipment. The synthesized lanthanum hexaboride zirconium diboride composite ultra-fine crystal ceramic has small grain size and high hardness. The material prepared by the method has excellent mechanical properties, shows attractive application potential in extreme environments, and has the possibility of being applied to large-scale industrial production.
