Popis: Some thermomechanical properties of boron carbide and aluminum dodecaboride are presented. The dependence of the bending strength on the temperature of B 4 C and AlB 12 in the ductile rupture region was studied. It was detected that the ductile rupture of B 4 C starts at temperatures above 1500°C while that of AlB 12 begins at 1400°C. Total deformation, however, did not exceed 2% even at 1800°C. The investigation of the creep of B 4 C and AlB 12 showed that the rate de / dt of steady creep depends on the applied stress and the temperature: de / dt = Aσ n exp(− E / RT ). Besides, creep in boron carbide at stress values lower than 90 MPa occurred by the vacancy-diffusive mechanism, for which n =1. At stress values over 90 MPa, n =3 and the creep mechanism changes to dislocation creep. A similar phenomenon is observed in the case of aluminum dodecaboride; however, the replacement of the vacancy-diffusive mechanism by dislocation creep takes place at stress values of 80 MPa.
