Ceramics in the system ZrB_2–Ta_5Si_3 were studied as candidates for the development of new ultra high-temperature ceramic materials. The ceramics were prepared by hot pressing at 1900–2200 °C in He. Mutual additions of ZrB_2 and Ta_5Si_3 even in small amounts had significant densifying effects due to chemical interactions and solid solubility between the components, which have not been reported in the literature. Materials containing between 8 and 30 vol% Ta_5Si_3 exhibited less oxidation than pure ZrB_2, which is the result of phase separation in surface borosilicate glass induced by Ta_2O_5. For higher concentrations, oxidation resistance substantially decreased with increasing Ta_5Si_3 content. The trend in the oxidation behavior of the materials showed significant dependence on the volume of oxidation products. Ceramics containing up to 10 mol% (30 vol%) Ta_5Si_3, which showed the highest oxidation resistance, also had the highest strength and hardness in the system, and are of interest for high-temperature structural applications in oxidizing environments.
