The densification, microstructure and properties were studied for MoSi2-doped ZrB2-containing SiC particles. MoSi2is added to ZrB2as sintering aid. The enhanced densification was driven by a pseudo-binary reaction involving ZrB2and transient Mo borides, which were formed as products of the reaction between MoSi2and the surface oxides on the ZrB2particles. The ZrB2grains had a core–rim microstructure. Room temperature strengths up to 800MPa were measured. At 1500°C (in air), strengths decreased to 240MPa. The addition of SiC increased the fracture toughness (4.1MPamat RT), compared to ZrB2(3.4MPam at RT). The resistance to thermal shock of ZrB2also increased with the addition of SiC. The measured critical thermal shock temperature difference increased from 330°C for ZrB2to 385°C when SiC was added. The addition of SiC also decreased the oxidation rate of ZrB2. The investigations gave evidence of the beneficial influence of MoSi2as sintering aid on densification and properties of ZrB2-based materials.
