Abstract


Titanium diboride (TiB2) is a hard compound with good strength at elevated temperatures. The experimental activities, presented in this paper, were aimed to develop some TiB2 composite materials as close as possible to the nanometric range. These small particles assure high mechanical properties after sintering process. The initial powders of TiB2, with particles of about 1 micron, were milled in wet environment in a planetary ball mill with different milling parameters. Two important parameters were 3:1[25] and 5:1 ball-to-powder mass ratios and milling time 2 and 3 hours. The working technology was by collision. Particles size distribution, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were done to characterize the samples. The results show that with increasing of milling time and ball ratio to powder decreases the particle size of TiB2 with about 60 %, reaching in the nanometric range.
