Other materials: Property Data Summaries
The data presented here were derived from reported values for a narrowly defined material specification. Using trend analysis, property relations, and interpolation methods, the selfconsistent trend values for the properties of polycrystalline TiB2 were determined for a mass fraction of TiB2 of at least 98 %, a density of (4.5±0.1) g/cm3, and a mean grain size of (9±1) µm.
TiB2 crystallizes with hexagonal symmetry, space group P6/mmm, and has one formula unit per unit cell. The lattice parameters (a,c) have a slight quadratic dependence on the temperature which accounts for the linear temperature dependence of the coefficient of thermal expansion. The ratio c/a ranges from 1.066 ± 0.001 at 25 °C to 1.070 ± 0.001 at 1500 °C. Individually, the lattice parameters may be expressed as:a/Å = 3.0236 + 1.73x10-5 (T/K) + 3.76x10-9 (T/K)2
where T is in the range from 293 K to 2000 K. The relative standard uncertainties, ur, when using these expressions are estimated to be ur(a) = 0.03 % and ur(c) = 0.04 %.Creep Characteristics (flexure at 100 MPa and T > 1500 °C):
The wear behavior of TiB2 appears to be complicated by its interaction with oxygen in the atmosphere. Results from a ring on block test of the wear of TiB2 for a density of 4.32 g/cm3 and a grain size of 2 µm showed that for temperature less than 600 °C, the amount of material removed during the test increased with increasing sliding distance, but decreased with increasing temperature. For temperature greater than 600 °C, the specimens gained mass with the amount of mass gain increasing with increasing sliding distance. The decrease of mass loss and the occurence of mass gain appear to be the result of the formation of B2O3 in the wear track of the specimens. The coefficient of friction appears to have a power law dependence on the ratio of the sliding speed vslide and the contact stress Pload. For vslide/Pload = 0.2 m s-1 MPa-1, the coefficient of friction may be taken to be 0.8 ± 0.1 for temperature less than or equal to 400 °C and 0.4 ± 0.1 for temperature in the range 800 °C to 1000 °C.
The values presented here are trend values derived for polycrystalline TiB2 specimens with a purity (mass fraction of TiB2) of at least 98 %, a density of (4.5±0.1) g/cm3, and a mean grain size of (9±1) µm. Estimated combined relative standard uncertainties of the property values are listed in the last column. For example, a value of 3.0 with ur = 5 % is equivalent to 3.0 +/- 0.15. A question mark, (?), for ur means the uncertainty could not be determined with the available data.
