Notes:
Boron carbide composites in Si-B-C System have been widely studied and applied inexcellent engineering materials. These materials are usually used at high temperature. Unfortunately,amorphous Si-B-C ceramics have been few reports regarding the properties of Si-B-B4C ceramics.In this study, the preparation of crystallized Si-B-C system compounds using Si, B, and B4Cpowders was investigated to determine their potentially for applications as high hardnesscomposites. The samples were prepared at 1673 K for 2 hours in Ar atmosphere. The sinteredbodies were cut into 5 х 5 х 10 mm blocks and polished with diamond disk for Vickers hardness.The samples were subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis for phase evolution using a powderX-ray diffractometer. The fracture surfaces of the specimens were observed using a scanningelectron microscope (SEM) included an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDX)system to estimate the microstructures
