The crystal structure and surface morphology of Si3 N4 prepared by LPCVD were characterized as a function of processing conditions. Temperature was the most dominant variable which affected the coating microstructure. Strongly faceted crystalline Si3 N4 was deposited at temperatures above ∼ 1410°C. In the temperature range of 1300° to 1410°C, crystalline and amorphous phases were codeposited. The content of the crystalline phase rapidly decreased with decreased temperature. In this temperature range, the coating crystallinity was also influenced by kinetic factors such as deposition rate and reagent depletion. For example, Si3 N4 became more crystalline as the deposition rate was decreased by either decreasing the flow rate or increasing the NH3 /SiF4 molar ratio. At ∼ 1300°C, the coating surface appeared fully botryoidal, and the coatings were mostly amorphous. Changes in the orientation and size of Si3 N4 crystallites were parametrically documented. As the temperature was increased, the Si3 N4 grains generally became more preferentially oriented to the (102) and/or ( l 0 l ) where l = 1,2,3,., directions. The average facet size increased with coating thickness. 相似文献

The compressive creep behavior and oxidation resistance of an Si3 N4 /Y2 Si2 O7 material (0.85Si3 N4 +0.10SiO2 +0.05Y2 O3 ) were determined at 1400°C. Creep re sistance was superior to that of other Si3 N4 materials and was significantly in creased by a preoxidation treatment (1600°C /120 h). An apparent parabolic rate constant of 4.2 × 10−11 kg2 ·m-4 ·s−1 indicates excellent oxidation resistance. 相似文献

The results of two-step oxidation experiments on chemically-vapor-deposited Si3 N4 and SiC at 1350°C show that a correlation exists between the presence of a Si2 N2 O interphase and the strong oxidation resistance of Si3 N4 . During normal oxidation, k p for SiC was 15 times higher than that for Si3 N4 , and the oxide scale on Si3 N4 was found by SEM and TEM to contain a prominent Si2 N2 O inner layer. However, when oxidized samples are annealed in Ar for 1.5 h at 1500°C and reoxidized at 1350°C as before, three things happen: the oxidation k p increases over 55-fold for Si3 N4 , and 3.5-fold for SiC; the Si3 N4 and SiC oxidize with nearly equal k p 's; and, most significant, the oxide scale on Si3 N4 is found to be lacking an inner Si2 N2 O layer. The implications of this correlation for the competing models of Si3 N4 oxidation are discussed. 相似文献

The surface of Si3 N4 ceramics was hydrothermally treated with HCl or H2 SO4 using an autoclave. The thickness of the oxide layers formed on the Si3 N4 samples decreased to one-fourth after oxidation at 1400°C by the treatment. The oxide layer of the treated samples was dense, and flaw formation in and beneath the layer did not occur at 1400°C. The avoidance of low melting Y-silicates by leaching Y2 O3 is the reason for the improved oxidation resistance of the hydrothermally treated Si3 N4 , despite an increase in surface porosity through a 70 μm layer. 相似文献

Thermal decomposition of silicon diimide, Si(NH)2 , in vacuum resulted in very-high-purity, fine-particle-size, amorphous Si3 N4 powders. The amorphous powder was isothermally aged at 50° to 100° intervals from 1000° to 1500°C for phase identification. Examination of ir spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns indicated a slow and gradual transition from an amorphous material to a crystalline α-phase occurring at 1200°C for >4 h and/or 1300° to 1400°C for 2 h. As the temperature was increased to ≥1450°C for 2 h, the crystalline β-phase was observed. Phase nucleation and crystallite morphology in this system were studied by electron microscopy and electron diffraction combined with TG as functions of temperature for the inorganic polymer starting materials. Powders prepared in this manner with 4 wt% Mg3 N2 added as a sintering aid were hot-pressed to high-density fine-grained bodies with uniform microstructures. The optimum hot-pressing condition was 1650°C for 1 h. Silicon concentration steadily increased as the hot-pressing temperature or time was increased. A method for chemical etching for high-density fine-grained Si3 N4 is described. Electrical measurements between room temperature and ∼500°C indicated dielectric constant and tan δ values of 8.3±0.03 and 0.65±0.05×10−2 , respectively. 相似文献

The effects of oxidation at 1400°C for 100 h on both surface and internal composition of commercial and laboratory hot-pressed Si3 N4 with MgO or ZrO2 additives as well as chemically vapor deposited (CVD) Si3 N4 were studied using X-ray diffraction. Samples were also compared to the same temperature treatments in Ar. The results indicate the grain boundaries act as rapid diffusion paths for the transport of oxygen. 相似文献

The long-term high-temperature cyclic oxidation (100 cycles, 104 h, 1500°C) of a Si3 N4 material and a Si3 N4 /MoSi2 composite, both fabricated with Y2 O3 as a sintering additive, was studied. Both materials exhibited similar oxidation rates because of surface SiO2 formation described by an almost parabolic law and a total weight gain of 3–4 mg/cm2 after 104 h. As a consequence of oxidation processes in the bulk, microstructural damage was found in the Si3 N4 material. These effects were not observed in the composite. The remarkable microstructural stability observed offers the high potential of Si3 N4 /MoSi2 composites for long-term structural applications at elevated temperatures up to 1500°C. 相似文献

The high-temperature chemical stability of hot-pressed Si3 N4 was studied between 600° and 1450°C. Reactions were followed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. In air, this material begins to oxidize at 700° to 750°C; a distinct amorphous siO2 surface layer results after 24 h at 750°C-Concomitant formation of cristobalite occurs, depending on exposure time, and is enhanced as temperature is Increased. Magnesium and calcium magnesium silicates form above 1000°C. The data suggest that impurities, e.g. Mg, Ca, and Fe, greatly lower the oxidation resistance of Si3 N4 in air. 相似文献

The effect of Si3 N4 , Ta5 Si3 , and TaSi2 additions on the oxidation behavior of ZrB2 was characterized at 1200°–1500°C and compared with both ZrB2 and ZrB2 /SiC. Significantly improved oxidation resistance of all Si-containing compositions relative to ZrB2 was a result of the formation of a protective layer of borosilicate glass during exposure to the oxidizing environment. Oxidation resistance of the Si3 N4 -modified ceramics increased with increasing Si3 N4 content and was further improved by the addition of Cr and Ta diborides. Chromium and tantalum oxides induced phase separation in the borosilicate glass, which lead to an increase in liquidus temperature and viscosity and to a decrease in oxygen diffusivity and of boria evaporation from the glass. All tantalum silicide-containing compositions demonstrated phase separation in the borosilicate glass and higher oxidation resistance than pure ZrB2 , with the effect increasing with temperature. The most oxidation-resistant ceramics contained 15 vol% Ta5 Si3 , 30 vol% TaSi2 , 35 vol% Si3 N4 , or 20 vol% Si3 N4 with 10 mol% CrB2 . These materials exceeded the oxidation resistance of the ZrB2 /SiC ceramics below 1300°–1400°C. However, the ZrB2 /SiC ceramics showed slightly superior oxidation resistance at 1500°C. 相似文献

The oxidation behaviors of monolithic Si3 N4 and nanocomposite Si3 N4 -SiC with Yb2 O3 as a sintering aid were investigated. The specimens were exposed to air at temperatures between 1200° and 1500°C for up to 200 h. Parabolic weight gains with respect to exposure time were observed for both specimens. The oxidation products formed on the surface also were similar, i.e., a mixture of crystalline Yb2 Si2 O7 and SiO2 (cristobalite). However, strength retention after oxidation was much higher for the nanocomposite Si3 N4 -SiC compared to the monolithic Si3 N4 . The SiC particles of the nanocomposite at the grain boundary were effective in suppressing the migration of Yb3+ ions from the bulk grain-boundary region to the surface during the oxidation process. As a result, depletion of yttribium ions, which led to the formation of a damaged zone beneath the oxide layer, was prevented. 相似文献

Thin films of amorphous Si3 N4 were prepared by the rf-sputtering method, and the effects of titanium and chlorine additives on its crystallization were examined. When Ti-doped amorphous Si3 N4 was heated, TiN precipitated at >1100°C; the TiN precipitates promoted the conversion of amorphous Si3 N4 to β-Si3 N4 . Chlorine led to preferential conversion of amorphous Si3 N4 to α-Si3 N4 . 相似文献

The isothermal oxidation of pure CVD SiC and Si3 N4 has been studied for 100 h in dry, flowing oxygen from 1200° to 1600°C in an alumina tube furnace. Adherent oxide formed at temperatures to 1550°C. The major crystalline phase in the resulting silica scales was alpha-cristobalite. Parabolic rate constants for SiC were within an order of magnitude of literature values. The oxidation kinetics of Si3 N4 in this study were not statistically different from that of SiC. Measured activation energies were 190 kJ/mol for SiC and 186 kJ/mol for Si3 N4 . Silicon oxynitride did not appear to play a role in the oxidation of Si3 N4 under the conditions herein. This is thought to be derived from the presence of ppm levels of sodium impurities in the alumina furnace tube. It is proposed that sodium modifies the silicon oxynitride, rendering it ineffective as a diffusion barrier. Material recession as a function of oxide thickness was calculated and found to be low. Oxidation behavior at 1600°C differed from the lower temperatures in that silica spallation occurred after exposure. 相似文献

Subsolidus phase relations were established in the system Si3 N4 -SiO2 -Y2 O3 . Four ternary compounds were confirmed, with compositions of Y4 Si2 O7 N2 , Y2 Si3 O3 N4 , YSiO2 N, and Y10 (SiO4 )6 N2 . The eutectic in the triangle Si3 N4 -Y2 Si2 O7 -Y10 (SiO4 )6 N2 melts at 1500°C and that in the triangle Si2 N2 O-SiO2 -Y2 Si2 O7 at 1550°C. The eutectic temperature of the Si3 N4 -Y2 Si2 O7 join was ∼ 1520°C. 相似文献

The effect of aluminum and yttrium nitrate additives on the densification of monolithic Si3 N4 and a Si3 N4 /SiC composite by pressureless sintering was compared with that of oxide additives. The surfaces of Si3 N4 particles milled with aluminum and yttrium nitrates, which were added as methanol solutions, were coated with a different layer containing Al and Y from that of Si3 N4 particles milled with oxide additives. Monolithic Si3 N4 could be sintered to 94% of theoretical density (TD) at 1500°C with nitrate additives. The sintering temperature was about 100°C lower than the case with oxide additives. After pressureless sintering at 1750°C for 2 h in N2 , the bulk density of a Si3 N4 /20 wt% SiC composite reached 95% TD with nitrate additives. 相似文献

Phase relation studies of Si3 N1 , SiO2 , and MgO have established three important subsolidus tie lines, viz. Si3 N4 -MgO, Si3 N4 -Mg2 SiO4 , and Si2 N2 O-Mg2 SiO4 for nonoxidizing fabrication conditions. Strength measurements at 1400°C show that optimum strengths are obtained for compositions approaching the Si3 N4 -MgO and Si3 N4 -Si2 N2 O tie lines and that inferior strengths are obtained for compositions approaching the Si3 N4 -Mg2 SiO4 tie line. Oxidation measurements at 1375°C show that the oxidation kinetics depend on the content of MgO and Mg2 SiO4 phases. Optimum oxidation resistance is observed for compositions approaching the Si3 N4 -Si2 N2 O tie line. Strength and oxidation results are discussed with regard to phase equilibrium considerations. 相似文献

Details of the fabrication and microstructures of hot-pressed MoSi2 reinforced–Si3 N4 matrix composites were investigated as a function of MoSi2 phase size and volume fraction, and amount of MgO densification aid. No reactions were observed between MoSi2 and Si3 N4 at the fabrication temperature of 1750°C. Composite microstructures varied from particle–matrix to cermet morphologies with increasing MoSi2 phase content. The MgO densification aid was present only in the Si3 N4 phase. An amorphous glassy phase was observed at the MoSi2 –Si3 N4 phase boundaries, the extent of which decreased with decreased MgO level. No general microcracking was observed in the MoSi2 –Si3 N4 composites, despite the presence of a substantial thermal expansion mismatch between the MoSi2 and Si3 N4 phases. The critical MoSi2 particle diameter for microcracking was calculated to be 3 μm. MoSi2 particles as large as 20 μm resulted in no composite microcracking; this indicated that significant stress relief occurred in these composites, probably because of plastic deformation of the MoSi2 phase. 相似文献

The effect of oxidation exposure on room-temperature flexural strength was examined in 3.33- and 12.51-wt%-Lu2 O3 -containing hot-pressed Si3 N4 ceramics exposed to air at 1500°C for up to 1000 h. After oxidation exposure, the room-temperature strength of the ceramics was degraded, and strength retention decreased with time at temperature, dependent on the amount of additive. The retention in room-temperature strength displayed by the two compositions after 1000 h of oxidation exposure was 75%–80%. The degradation in strength was attributed to the formation of new defects at and/or near the interface between the oxide layer and the Si3 N4 bulk during oxidation exposure. 相似文献

The controlled crystallization of the amorphous grain boundary phase has been examined in a series of self-reinforced Si3 N4 materials with added Y2 O3 , SrO, and CaO. The effects of time, temperature, atmosphere, glass content, glass chemistry, and matrix Si3 N4 on the crystallization have been investigated. The stability of the crystallized product, the crystallization kinetics ( T-T-T curve), and crystallization mechanisms have also been examined. Crystallization produced an oxynitroapatite containing Y, Sr, and Ca over a broad range of heat-treatment conditions and glass compositions. The oxynitroapatite was compatible with Si3 N4 and remained stable up to 1600°C. At low temperatures (<1350°C), the rate-limiting crystallization mechanism was oxygen diffuson in the glass, and at higher temperatures (>1350°C) the rate-limiting crystallization step changed to either the formation of new Si3 N4 grains or solute diffusion in the glass. 相似文献

The high-temperature flexural strength of hot-pressed silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) and Si3 N4 -whisker-reinforced Si3 N4 -matrix composites has been measured at a crosshead speed of 1.27 mm/min and temperatures up to 1400°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Load–displacement curves for whisker-reinforced composites showed nonelastic fracture behavior at 1400°C. In contrast, such behavior was not observed for monolithic Si3 N4 . Microstructures of both materials have been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that grain-boundary sliding could be responsible for strength degradation in both monolithic Si3 N4 and its whisker composites. The origin of the nonelastic failure behavior of Si3 N4 -whisker composite at 1400°C was not positively identified but several possibilities are discussed. 相似文献

[(Trimethylsilyl)amino]titanium trichloride, (CH3 )3 -SiNHTiClj, was isolated as a red-orange crystalline solid in 58% yield from the reaction of TiCl4 with [(CH3 )3 Si]2 NH in 1:1 molar ratio in dichloromethane at —78°C. Pyrolysis of (CH3 )3 SiNHTiCl3 at 600°C furnished titanium nitride. This precursor is suitable for the preparation of composites and was employed to prepare Si3 N4 -TiN and Ti-TiN powders by adding Si3 N4 particles or titanium powders to a solution of (CH3 ), SiNHTiCl3 in dichloromethane, drying and pyrolyzing the resulting solid. This precursor also has been used as a binder to prepare Si3 N4 -TiN and Ti-TiN bodies. High-resolution transmission electron microscopic studies of the Si3 N4 -TiN composite showed that titanium nitride is concentrated on the surface of the Si3 N4 particles. 相似文献
