Research on Development and Fabrication of Boron Suboxide Specimens

Abstract

The work describes the processing of dense boron suboxide by hot pressing. Sound billets four inches diameter by three-eights inch thick were consolidated to a density as high as 99.2% of theoretical. Adjustment of process parameters was very critical as incorrect parameters resulted in either low density, excessive decomposition, or cracked billets. Several process modifications were identified that reduced production costs.
