...Kunal Kothari; Ramachandran Radhakrishnan; Norman M. Wereley This study reports on the microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium diboride ( TiB 2 ) that was rapidly consolidated via plasma pressure compaction ( P 2 C ® ) . Titanium diboride powder with 2.5 wt % of silicon nitride ( Si 3...

... in an electric muffle furnace at 550 ± 10 ° C for a period of 1 h and then furnace cooled. Cold deformation experiments were carried out in several steps. Dimensions such as height, contact, and bulged diameters and densities were measured for each test. In general, each compact was subjected to an incremental...
