Abstract: Boron carbide ceramics are excellent structural materials which have important applications in the civil, aero and military fields, owing to the properties of high hardness, high melting point and low den sity. The excellent functions of boron carbide as structure porcelain and ceramics and the new fabricating method were reviewed. The synthesis methods of boron carbide powder including self-propagation high tem perature synthesis, carbothermal reduction process using carbon tubefur nace, laser induced chemical vapor deposition and sol-gel carbothermal reduction route were introduced. The present research situation and de velopment on the preparation of boron carbide materials were also re viewed.
