TiB₂ embedded borosilicate coatings with improved wear resistance

State-of-the-art abrasion resistance of glass ceramic coatings (GCCs) is set by dense, low closed porosity, defect- and micro-stress-free microstructure since GCCs have low fracture toughness. Titanium diboride (TiB2) is a ceramic material with relatively high strength and durability as characterized by the high melting point, hardness, and wear resistance. In this study, the effect of mill additive TiB2 hard ceramic particles (HCP) on GCCs was...
