We have previously reported the preparation of ZrB2–SiC composite from the pyrolyzed mixtures of polycarbosilane-coated ZrB2powders via hot pressing at 2073 K for 60 min under a pressure of 20 MPa in an argon atmosphere. In the present paper, Si additive was introduced into the ZrB2–SiC composite fabricated with the same processing conditions, in an attempt to convert carbon impurities introduced by the pyrolysis of polycarbosilane into SiC. The phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties were characterized for the composite. Analysis showed that the Si additive could react with carbon to produce the SiC. In comparison with our previously published results, the addition of Si powder enhanced the micro-hardness of the composite, and did not have significant effect on fracture toughness.
