It was found that at a fixed pressing pressure (<i>P</i>_SPS = 45 MPa) in a given range of temperatures and sintering times (1800 ≤ <i>T</i>_SPS ≤ 2000°C and 0 min ≤ <i>t</i>_SPS ≤ 10 min), the relative density of sintered ceramics increases with increasing temperature and sintering time and reaches maximum values of 88, 99.9, and 96.2 of the calculated value for SiC, TiC, and SiC + TiC(10 wt %), respectively. It is shown that sintering of composite ceramics in the SiC–TiC system occurs through the formation and subsequent high-temperature decomposition of intermediate phases of binary carbides. It is demonstrated that the microhardness of SiC–TiC composite samples is determined as an additive value between the hardnesses of the included phases SiC (<i>HV</i> = 2948 ± 238 N/mm²) and TiC (<i>HV</i> = 2465 ± 256 N/mm²).</p>","PeriodicalId":527,"journal":{"name":"Crystallography Reports","volume":"69 6","pages":"950 - 954"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
