The development of HfC-SiC has been challenging due to difficulties in achieving sintering and satisfactory mechanical properties. However, this study aims to overcome these limitations by incorporating WC as an additive. SPS was employed to process HfC-SiC and HfC-SiC doped with 5 vol.% WC. The resulting samples were then evaluated for their oxygen content, relative density, Vickers hardness, bending strength, indentation fracture toughness, and microstructure. The Vickers hardness (20.50 ± 0.20 GPa), flexural strength (600.19 ± 84.00 MPa), and indentation fracture toughness (5.76 ± 0.54 MPa·m1/2) of HfC-30 vol.% SiC-5 vol.% WC ceramics are higher than HfC-30 vol.% SiC ceramics. Doping 5 vol.% WC in HfC-30 vol.% SiC not only reduces the oxygen content of samples but also produces the (Hf,W)C solid solution and refines the microstructures, which are the main reasons for the higher mechanical properties of HfC-30 vol.% SiC-5 vol.% WC ceramics. In summary, this study successfully addresses the challenges associated with HfC-SiC by incorporating WC as an additive, leading to improved mechanical properties and microstructures.
