Abstract
Ceramic body formed by reaction sintering at pressures ranging from subatmospheric to superatmospheric of admixed and shaped reactants, which can be elements, compounds, intermetallic compounds and/or alloys, in stoichiometric proportions to substantially form 10-90 mole percent of boride phase or phases of one or more of elements of Groups 3b including lanthanide and actinide series elements, 4b, 5b and 6b, and 10-90 mole percent of oxide phase or phases of one or more of elements of Groups 3a, 4a, 3b, 4b, 5b, 6b and 8, and which phases have a maximum grain size substantially not greater than 15 .mu.m. Body in a form for wear resistance and corrosion-erosion resistance has a virtual absence of open porosity, e.g. not greater than 5% or less than about 3%, and a Rockwell A hardness of greater than 90.
