PROCESSES AND METHODS OF MAKING BORON CARBIDE AND BORON CARBIDE COMPONENTS

摘要

High-density components and products as well as processes for making high-density components and products are disclosed. One exemplary component, among others, includes a boron carbide component comprised of a homogeneous boron carbide powder. The component has at least a 93% relative density (RD) and a Vickers hardness of at least 2000kg/mm<2>.
