Abstract
Fabrication processing of TiB2 using pressureless sintering was studied with special emphasis on the effect of doping Ni7Zr2. The pore-free compacts were obtained by the addition of extreme small amount of Ni7Zr2 under the condition of heating at 2100°C for 1 h in vacuum (-0.13 Pa). The prosity of obtained specimens were below 10-3 volume percent.
