  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

A diamond – silicon carbide composite material has been obtained. The reaction-diffusion mechanism of Turing sintering is investigated. The conditions for the growth of SiC grains on diamond particles during formation of the composite are shown. The process of graphitization of diamond particles during reaction sintering has been investigated. The mechanical characteristics of the diamond – silicon carbide composite have been studied.
