Open AccessSintering boron carbide ceramics without grain growth by plastic deformation as the dominant densification mechanism
A new ceramic sintering approach employing plastic deformation as the dominant mechanism is proposed, at low temperature close to the onset point of grain growth and under high pressure. Based on this route, f...
