Abstract

The
present study reports the in-situ synthesis of hybrid powders containing
vanadium borides (VB₂, V₃B₄ and V₂B₃)
and vanadium carbide (VC) using powder metallurgy methods. VB₂-V₃B₄-V₂B₃/VC
hybrid powders were synthesized from V₂O₅,
B₂O₃ and
C powder blends via a carbothermal reduction route assisted by mechanical
milling. Powder blends were mechanically milled up to 5 h in a high-energy ball
mill. The milling process reduced the crystallite size, increased the
uniformity of the particle distribution and hence increased the reactivity of
the starting powders. As-blended and milled powders were annealed at different
temperatures (1400, 1500 and 1600°C) for 12 h to investigate the probability of
achieving vanadium boride and carbide phases simultaneously. Annealed powders
were characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron
microscope/energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM/EDS) and particle size analyzer.
In case of using annealing temperature of 1400°C, VB₂-V₃B₄-V₂B₃/VC
hybrid powders were obtained with an amount of unreacted V₂O₅.
Annealing temperatures of 1500 and 1600°C resulted in the formation of VB₂,
V₃B₄, V₂B₃
and VC phases. Milling affected the weight percentages of the phases as well as
the type of major boride phase.
