A route for the pressureless liquid-phase sintering of SiC with low additive content for improved sliding-wear resistance

A colloidal processing route has been developed for the pressureless sintering of dense SiC with a low content of sintering additives. In this route, a sol-gel solution precursor of the sintering additives is deposited onto the surface of the SiC particles, achieving a uniform distribution of the si...
