In situ composite of LaB6–ZrB2eutectic prepared by floating zone melting is an interesting candidate for the manufacture of turbine blades because of its excellent mechanical properties. Studies of a composite prepared by floating zone melting showed that the average diameter of the ZrB2fibers was ∼0.2–1.2 μm, with fiber lengths up to 100 μm. LaB6was the first phase to nucleate when eutectic growth occurred, and ZrB2shows non-faceted growth. In an ingot solidified with planar growth, the orientation relationship of the phases was: growth direction [001]LaB6//[00.1]ZrB2, interfacial plane (1 10)LaB6//(12 .0)ZrB2. Crack extensions along and perpendicular to the direction of fibers exhibit toughness of 8.7 and 17.8 MPa m1/2, respectively. The oxidation behavior of LaB6–ZrB2eutectic in situ composites was studied in the temperature range of 912–1223°C and in the pressure range 1.5×104–7.2×104Pa. The rate of weight change is described by kp=9.71×10−3exp(−31000/RT) mg2cm−4min−1in the range 912–1094°C. Above 1094°C, rapid oxidation kinetics were observed, La2O3·B2O3and La2O3·3B2O3being the primary scale constituent with ZrO2deficiency in the outer scale.
