Abstract

In the present work, Cr7C3–CrB diffusion layer-coated B4C composite powders were synthesised by a powder immersion method using Cr and B4C powders as reactants. The phase composition and microstructure of treated powders were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phase composition and proportion of produced Cr7C3 and CrB varied with the reaction temperatures and composition of the initial powders. After treatment at 800°C, the produced phases were mainly in Cr7C3.After treatment at 1000°C, the produced phases were mainly in CrB. Powder mixtures in which the molar ratio of Cr to B4C was 3:1 and which was treated at 900°C for 4 h were more suitable for the syntheses of Cr7C3–CrB-coated B4C composite powders.

Abstract

Dans ce travail, on a fait la synthèse de poudres composites de B4C revêtues d'une couche de diffusion de Cr7C3-CrB par une méthode d'immersion de la poudre en utilisant des poudres de Cr et de B4C comme réactifs. On a caractérisé la composition de phase et la microstructure des poudres traitées au moyen de la diffraction des rayons X et de la microscopie électronique à balayage. La composition de phase et la proportion de Cr7C3 et de CrB produits variaient en fonction de la température de réaction et de la composition des poudres initiales. Après traitement à 800°C, les phases produites étaient principalement du Cr7C3.Après traitement à 1000°C, les phases produites étaient principalement du CrB. Les mélanges de poudres dans lesquels le rapport molaire du Cr au B4C était de 3:1 et qui étaient traités à 900°C pendant 4 h étaient plus appropriés à la synthèse des poudres composites de B4C revêtues de Cr7C3–CrB.
