It is found that a thin intermediate Cu layer can effectively enhance the strength of the interface between the ceramics and the metals, resulting in a high flexural strength and toughness of the laminated TiB2-B4 C composites simultaneously. A flexural strength and fracture toughness of 651 MPa and 11.6 MPam^(1/2) respectively,are achieved, an approximately 90% improvement over TiB2-B4 C bulk.展开更多
