Phase pure HfB2–SiC powders were efficiently synthesized via microwave/molten salt assisted boro/carbothermal reduction (MMS-BCTR) method by using HfO2, SiO2, activated carbon and B4C as raw materials, NaCl–KCl a molten medium. The effects of mass ratio to reactant (ms/mr), holding period, reaction temperature content on the phase composition microstructure investigated. results showed that opt...
