Abstract

In this study, we introduce a simple and effective method for producing a ternary solid-solution of diborides, a medium-entropy Zr1/3Hf1/3Ta1/3B2. Using commercially available diboride powders with equimolar ratio and performing spark plasma consolidation at 1927°C we demonstrate that single-phase medium-entropy ceramic can be consolidated using an hour-long procedure. The flexural strength and fracture toughness at room temperature were 318 ?14MPa and 2.9MPam1/2, respectively. ?020 The Ceramic Society of Japan.
