摘要: Abstract Nb/Nb5Si3 composites were successfully fabricated by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology. The effects of element (Nb and Si) proportions on the microstructures synthesized mainly investigated. results show that strongly affect composites; in situ up to 99.59% theoretical density SPS technology, comprise Nb5Si3 uniformly distributed Nb particles. Moreover, with increase Si content from 6% 20% (atom fraction), volume fraction increases, whereas size particles decrease obviously. higher shrinkage densification for (16 at.% 20 at.%) close eutectic composition take place. When temperature over 1400 °C, obviously retards finally stops.
