A near-net-shape hot-pressing technology produces high-quality, high-performance parts for industries where failure is not an option. Scientists have developed a novel pseudo-hot-isostatic-pressing (P ...

Hot pressing is a fabrication technique that applies heat and pressure simultaneously to densify ceramic materials. BN hot pressing processing begins with the preparation of highly pure BN powder.

Boron carbide (B4C) is a highly desirable material in the field of engineering ceramics due to its excellent properties, such as high hardness, chemical inertness, neutron absorption capability, and ...
