Boron carbide matrix composites containing boron carbide (B4C), titanium diboride (TiB2) at 20% (mass fraction) and 30%, and titanium carbide (TiC) were fabricated at 2 130℃ using a pressure-less sintering method. Different amounts of TiB2 and TiC particles were added to B4C. TiB2 content was chosen as the main variable to study the effect on the composites. The density, hardness, bending strengths and fracture toughness measurements were performed to obtain the physical and mechanical properties of the samples. The results indicate that by adding 30%TiB2 sub-micron particles at 2 130℃, the bending strength and fracture toughness of 277.6 MPa and 5.38 MPa·m1/2 were obtained for the composite. Particle pullout and crack micro-bridging play an effective role in toughening the composite ceramics. The main toughening mechanisms of the B4C-TiB2 composites are noted to possess microcrack and crack deflection toughening owing to the residual stresses resulting from the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient between TiB2 and B4C.
