Synthesizing Fine-Grained Powders of Complex Compositions B4C–TiB2–WC–Co

Abstract Fine-grained boron carbide and metal boride composites are known for their superhardness, which is used in many industrial technologies. The introduction of binder components in free metallic (alloy) state and/or additional ceramic components can further improve the material mechanical properties by making it more dispersive. A new chemical method is proposed for the synthesis of the fine-grained powder complex composites boron carbide–titanium diboride–tungsten boride–cobalt (B4C–TiB2–WC–Co).
