An investigation of sintering kinetics of boron and boron carbide is presented. The in6uence of the powder size distribution on the temperature dependence of sintering, on reaching a high 5nal density, and on gaining a homogeneous grain size has been shown. The results on the -rhombohedral usage in

## Silicon carbide with its excellent oxidation resistance and chemical compatibility with carbon is an attractive coating material for the high-temperature oxidation protection of graphite and carbon-carbon composites. One of the major challenges in the development of protective Sic coatings is
The vibrations of boron carbide B 13 C 2 have been studied by the valence force model. The 1560-cm ؊1 band is ascribed to the antisymetric stretching of the linear chain, and thereby it is IR active only. Large angle-bending forces of the carbon atoms are estimated to agree with the experiment. This
The internal friction at low temperatures has been measured on polycrystalline samples of -B, B 4 C, B 13 C 2 , and B 9 C. As the carbon deficiency increases in the boron carbides, the internal friction approaches that of amorphous solids. For comparison, the internal friction of amorphous B 9 C, pr
