Hybrid multilayer graphene and SiC whisker reinforced TiB2 based nano-composites by two-step sintering

Advances in the TiB2 nano-composites reinforced with hybrid of SiC whisker (SiCw) and multilayer graphene (MLG) have been thoroughly investigated. Hybrid reinforcements, combining the advantages of SiCw as well as MLG, resulted in further enhanced mechanical properties in TiB2-based ceramic nano-composites. Excellent mechanical properties were achieved for hybrid MLG/SiCw reinforced TiB2–TiN–MgO samples with 2.0 wt% SiCw and 0.4 wt% MLG through...
