Densification, microstructure, and mechanical properties of spark plasma sintered HfB 2 and HfB 2 ‐SiC ceramics using HfB 2 powders from borothermal reduction and boro/carbothermal reduction were investigated and compared. It was found that HfB 2 ceramics obtained by boro/carbothermal reduction exhibited a significantly higher sinterability compared to that by borothermal reduction. Inversely, HfB 2 ‐SiC ceramics obtained by borothermal reduction exhibited a refined microstructure and better mechanical properties (Vickers hardness: 23.60 ± 2.43 GPa; fracture toughness: 5.89 ± 0.30 MPa.m 1/2 ) than that by boro/carbothermal reduction. These results indicated that optimal fabrication of HfB 2 ‐based ceramics could be achieved by the selection of synthetic route of HfB 2 powders.
