Abstract
Silicon carbide and boron carbide belong to the group of non-metallic hard materials,1 i.e. materials, whose great hardness and high melting temperature result from a high fraction of covalent bonding. Super-hard compounds are formed by appropriate combination of the four low atomic number elements boron, carbon, silicon and nitrogen as indicated by the quarternary system (Fig. 1). Carbon as diamond, boron-nitrogen as cubic boron nitride, boron-carbon as boron carbide and silicon-carbon as silicon carbide, belong to the class of hardest materials known. Further hard members of this system are silicon nitride, the silicon borides and the elements boron and silicon.
