Low Cost Processing Routes Leading to High-Performance Ceramic Tiles

Abstract

Production of cheap high-performance ceramic tiles for structural application is an important problem. The search for superior tile exhibits many different facts ranging from establishing routes for manufacturing cheap precursors, through densification to ballistic testing of the material. The main goals of this research were: 1) Synthesis of ultrafine sinterable titanium diboride and titanium boride based composites in a combustion regime. 2) Purification of titanium diboride synthesized by magnesithermal reduction of boric ant titanium oxides. 3) Densification and fabrication of TiB2 based composites by pressureless sintering and hot pressing. 4) Ballistic testing of fabricated tiles. Keywords: Ceramic tiles; Composite materials; Titanium diborane; Titanium boride.
