Erratum: Zirconium Carbide-tungsten Cermets Prepared by In-situ Reaction Sintering

Abstract

The fourth paragraph of the introduction should read as follows:

Reactive methods can also be used to fabricate ceramic‐based composites. Sandhage and colleagues used displacive compensation of porosity to partially or fully convert porous tungsten carbide (WC) preforms to ZrC/W. In this process, WC preforms were pressed and partially sintered. The porous WC preforms were then infiltrated with molten Zr2Cu at 1300°C. The resulting cermets contained ZrC, W, and a residual low melting point Cu‐rich phase (∼5 vol%). In some cases, the composites also contained residual WC, although the WC in preforms having a low relative density could be reacted completely.
