A mixture of boric acid, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide powders in the eutectic ratio was reduced by carbon (as soot) at 1600°C in vacuo in order to produce phases in the B4C–SiC–TiB2 system. Only the expected phases were identified in the synthesis products. The synthesized powders were boron carbide crystals ìm in size and nanoparticles.
