Addressing amorphization and transgranular fracture of B <sub>4</sub> C through Si doping and TiB <sub>2</sub> microparticle reinforcing Open
Over the last two decades, many studies have contributed to improving our understanding of the brittle failure mechanisms of boron carbide and provided a road map for inhibiting the underlying mechanisms and improving the mechanical respon…

Amorphization Mitigation in Boron-Rich Boron Carbides Quantified by Raman Spectroscopy Open
Boron carbide is an extremely hard and lightweight material used in armor systems. Upon impact above the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL), boron carbide loses strength and suddenly fails. Atomistic models suggest that boron-rich boron carbides…
