Abstract
Titanium diboride (TiB2) is one of the candidate materials for high temperature structural applications and also for control rod elements in high temperature nuclear reactors. In this paper the nano-sized titanium diboride powders were synthesized through a borothermic reduction by using TTIP and B4C as titanium and boron sources. Three different concentration of TTIP solutions were prepared: 0.033, 0.050 and 0.10 M. After heat treating of products between 900 to 1200°C, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and X-ray diffraction patterns of powder indicated that by using the 0.10 M TTIP, the only product was TiB2; otherwise the product was TiB2-B4C composite.
