Using fine powders of silicon and carbon, silicon carbide was synthesized and compacted using the technique of plasma pressure compaction (P 2 C). The test samples were obtained by consolidating the powder particles at temperatures of 1400 and 1800 o C. Microhardness measurements revealed an increase with an increase in temperature of compaction and increased hold time. The conjoint...
