Abstract

Fine hafnium diboride (HfB2) powders have been prepared by modified carbothermal/borothermal reduction of hafnium dioxide (HfO2) at relatively low temperatures (1500°-1600°C) for 1-2 h. The XRD patterns could be indexed as hexagonal HfB2 and no evidence of HfC, HfO2, or other impurities was observed. Glow discharge mass spectrometer analysis indicates that the synthesized HfB2 powders had high purity. The synthesized HfB2 powders had small average crystallite size (around 1 μm) and low oxygen content (
