Abstract: B 4 C–SiC–TiB 2 ceramic composites with equal volume fractions of the three phases (i.e. , 1B 4 C–1SiC–1TiB 2) were fabricated by solid-state spark-plasma sintering (SPS) from commercially available B 4 C, SiC, and TiB 2 powders, first optimizing their densification temperature and then investigating for the first time the unlubricated sliding wear of the optimally SPS-ed composite. It is shown that SPS is optimal at 1800 °C (under 75 MPa pressure and 5 min soaking), which is much lower than the temperatures used so far for both the solid-state hot-pressing and SPS of this and other B 4 C–SiC–TiB 2 composites. It is also shown that the optimally SPS-ed 1B 4 C–1SiC–1TiB 2 composite has a triplex-particulate microstructure with evenly distributed carbide and boride grains whose sizes are essentially those of the corresponding starting powders, and that it is ultrahard (i.e. , ∼35 GPa) and relatively tough (i.e. , ∼4 MPa⋅m1/2). Moreover, it is demonstrated that, due to its ultra-high hardness and proneness to form a coherent oxide tribolayer, it is also very immune to wear, possessing an unprecedented super wear resistance to unlubricated sliding contact (i.e. , ∼1.6·108 (N⋅m)/mm³), thanks to which it only undergoes very mild abrasion in the form of superficial plastic scratches with hardly any material removal by micro-fracture. Finally, implications of interest for the ceramics and hard-materials communities are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
