Raws li ib qho tseem ceeb ntawm cov khoom siv ceramic, titanium diboride (TiB2) muaj qhov hardness siab heev thiab thermal stability, nrog rau zoo hnav tsis kam thiab corrosion kuj, ua rau nws zoo tagnrho xaiv rau cermet. Nws yog dav siv nyob rau hauv kev tsim cov high-strength, hnav-resistant cov cuab yeej, cutters, thiab abrasives. Tsis tas li ntawd, cov khoom siv hluav taws xob zoo heev thiab cov thermal conductivity ntawm TiB2 ua rau nws muaj txiaj ntsig zoo hauv kev siv cov khoom siv hluav taws xob, xws li kev ua lub luag haujlwm ntawm cov khoom siv hluav taws xob hauv cov khoom ntim hluav taws xob, lossis siv los ua cov txheej txheem hluav taws xob lossis cov hlau lead rau. microelectronic khoom siv.
TiB2 kuj tseem tuaj yeem siv rau hauv kev npaj cov haujlwm ua haujlwm qib nyuaj (FGHC). FGHC yog ib yam khoom uas nws muaj pes tsawg leeg, qauv, thiab cov khoom sib txawv gradiently hauv qhov chaw. Los ntawm kev tswj cov ntsiab lus thiab kev faib tawm ntawm TiB2, cov qauv gradient tuaj yeem tsim nyob rau hauv cov khoom siv tawv tawv kom ua tau raws li cov ntawv thov sib txawv, xws li hardness, toughness, thiab corrosion kuj. Cov qauv no ua rau cov khoom siv kom muaj kev ua tau zoo hauv ntau thaj tsam, yog li ua tau raws li cov kev cai tshwj xeeb. Cov ntawv thov ntawm TiB2 hauv cermet thiab FGHC qhia txog nws txoj kev thov dav dav, uas tsis tsuas yog txhim kho cov khoom ntawm cov ntaub ntawv tab sis kuj nthuav dav lawv txoj kev siv.
