چکیده
The microstructure and physical properties of new Y2O3 and Al2O3 oxide-doped silicon nitride ceramics fabricated by cold isostatic pressing and free sintering were investigated. The phase composition of produced material was also studied by X-ray diffraction at room and elevated temperature. The fabricated ceramics featured a microstructure of Si5AlON7 grains with a fine-grained α-Si3N4 with a small amount of Y2SiAlON5. Described ceramics is attractive for many high-temperature structural applications due to beneficial combination of fine-grained structure with improved mechanical properties and small weight loss.

This work deals with sintering additives for the low temperature pressureless sintering of Si3N4, via a transient liquid technique. Much attention has been given to the development of a sintering process using low-cost Si3N4 powder (Silzot HQ, Germany) as the starting material and employing sintering additives which are also both economically attractive and enable sintering at low temperatures....
متن کاملThe microstructure and boundary phases of in-situ reinforced silicon nitride
The microstructure of an in-situ reinforced silicon nitride, gas pressure sintered with La2O3, Y2O3, and SrO additives and then heat treated, is examined with X-ray diffraction, SEM, and high-resolution TEM. Two crystalline rare-earth apatite phases, La5Si3O12N and Y5Si3O12N, are identified at the grain pockets and at the two-grain boundaries. The thickness of the crystalline phases at the two-...
