Abstract: | An internal friction technique has been used to measure the viscosity of the grain-boundary amorphous phase in commercial hot-pressed silicon nitride. The viscosity in the region of the glass transition (850 to 900° C) was approximately 5×1015 P per unit thickness (cm) of the grain boundary, with an apparant activation energy of 163 kcal mol−1. |
