Abstract
Three layered B4C/B4C-Cnanofibers laminates have been produced using a hot pressing technique. The laminates were designed with thick (~2.6 mm) outer layers of B4C and a thin (~90 µm) center layer of B4C-70 wt% Cnanofibers. It was found that low tensile thermal residual stress develops in the thick B4C outer layers. The compressive thermal residual stresses exist in the thin central layer. The magnitude of the tensile residual stress was estimated as 11.3 ± 2.5 MPa. The effect of weak interfaces on failure mechanism of the laminate was studied.
