Abstract

An Analytical Electron Microscopy investigation of TiB2 hot-pressed and pressureless sintered with Ni revealed the presence of Ni3B and tau intergranular phase, respectively. Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED) was used for crystal structure determination and compositions were determined by quantitative x-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS). The phase analyses were compared with phase diagram data. An evaluation was also made of TiB2 hot pressed with Ni3Al. Quantitative EDS and EELS microanalysis indicated a Ni,Al type boride tau (Cr23C6 type) intergranular phase.
