Finally, ceramic steel were obtained after spark plasma sintering at 1280° C. for 2 h.
    • EXAMPLE 6
  • A preparation method of ceramic steel: 50 wt. % of NbB2, 20 wt. % of Mo, 5 wt. % of Cr, 15 wt. % of Ni, 1 wt. % of C and Fe powder (the balance), and 3 wt. % of polyvinyl butyral anhydrous ethanol solution were wet-milled in a ball milling machine for 75 h. The corundum ball-to-powder: (NbB2, Mo, Cr, Ni, C and Fe powder) mass ratio was 5:1, gasoline were added as milling media. The slurry mixtures were vapor dried for 8 h at the temperature of 90° C., sieved through 400 mesh, and then compressed. Finally, ceramic steel were obtained after activated sintering at 1250° C. for 15 h.
    • EXAMPLE 7
  • A preparation method of ceramic steel: 25 wt. % of FeB, 35 wt. % of Mo, 10 wt. % of Cr, 5 wt. % of Ni, 0.6 wt. % of C, 2 wt. % of V, 5 wt. % of Cu and Fe powder (the balance), and 3 wt. % of paraffin were wet-milled in a ball milling machine for 60 h. The corundum ball-to-powder: (FeB, Mo, Cr, Ni, C, V, Cu and Fe powder) mass ratio was 6:1, gasoline were added as milling media. The slurry mixtures were vacuum dried for 8 h at the temperature of 90° C., sieved through 400 mesh, and then compressed. Finally, ceramic steel were obtained after activated sintering at 1300° C. for 15 h.
