Fine Si3 N4 -SiC composite powders were synthesized in various SiC compositions to 46 vol% by nitriding combustion of silicon and carbon. The powders were composed of α-Si3 N4 , β-Si3 N4 , and β-SiC. The reaction analysis suggested that the SiC formation is assisted by the high reaction heat of Si nitridation. The sintered bodies consisted of uniformly dispersed grains of β-Si3 N4 , β-SiC, and a few Si2 N2 O. 相似文献

Impurity phases in commercial hot-pressed Si3 N4 were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. In addition to the dominant, β-Si3 N4 phase, small amounts of Si2 N2 O, SiC, and WC were found. Significantly, a continuous grain-boundary phase was observed in the ∼ 25 high-angle boundaries examined. This film is ∼ 10 Å thick between, β-Si3 N4 grains and ∼ 30 Å thick between Si2 N2 O and β-Si3 N4 grains. 相似文献

The rate of dissolution of β-Si3 N4 into an Mg-Si-O-N glass was measured by working with a composition in the ternary system Si3 N4 -SiO2 -MgO such that Si2 N2 O rather than β-Si3 N4 was the equilibrium phase. Dissolution was driven by the chemical reaction Si3 N4 (c)+SiO2 ( l )→Si2 N2 O(c). Analysis of the kinetic data, in view of the morphology of the dissolving phase (Si3 N4 ) and the precipitating phase (Si2 N2 O), led to the conclusion that the dissolution rate was controlled by reaction at the crystal/glass interface of the Si3 N4 , crystals. The process appears to have a fairly constant activation energy, equal to 621 ±40 kJ-mol−1 , at T=1573 to 1723 K. This large activation energy is believed to reflect the sum of two quantities: the heat of solution of β-Si3 N4 hi the glass and the activation enthalpy for jumps of the slower-moving species across the crystal/glass interface. The data reported should be useful for interpreting creep and densification experiments with MgO-fluxed Si3 N4 . 相似文献

α/β-Si3 N4 composites with various α/β phase ratios were prepared by hot pressing at 1600°–1650°C with MgSiN2 as sintering additives. An excellent combination of mechanical properties (Vickers indentation hardness of 23.1 GPa, fracture strength of about 1000MPa, and toughness of 6.3 MPa·m1/2 ) could be obtained. Compared with conventional Si3 N4 -based ceramics, this new material has obvious advantages. It is as hard as typical in-situ-reinforced α-Sialon, but much stronger than the latter (700 MPa). It has comparable fracture strength and toughness, but is much harder than β-Si3 N4 ceramics (16 GPa). The microstructures and mechanical properties can be tailored by choosing the additive and controlling the heating schedule. 相似文献

Using a recently developed first-principles supercell method that includes the electron and core-hole interaction, the XANES/ELNES spectra of Si- L 2,3 , Si- K , and N- K edges in α-Si3 N4 , β-Si3 N4 , spinel c -Si3 N4 , and Si2 N2 O were calculated and compared. The difference in total energies between the initial ground state and the final core-hole state provides the transition energy. The calculated spectra are found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurements on β-Si3 N4 and c -Si3 N4 . The differences in the XANES/ELNES spectra for the same element in different crystals are explained in terms of differences in local bonding. The use of orbital-decomposed local density of states to explain the measured spectra is shown to be inadequate. These results reaffirm the importance of including the core-hole effect in any XANES/ELNES spectral calculation. 相似文献

This paper deals with the densification and phase transformation during pressureless sintering of Si3 N4 with LiYO2 as the sintering additive. The dilatometric shrinkage data show that the first Li2 O- rich liquid forms as low as 1250°C, resulting in a significant reduction of sintering temperature. On sintering at 1500°C the bulk density increases to more than 90% of the theoretical density with only minor phase transformation from α-Si3 N4 to β-Si3 N4 taking place. At 1600°C the secondary phase has been completely converted into a glassy phase and total conversion of α-Si3 N4 to β-Si3 N4 takes place. The grain growth is anisotropic, leading to a microstructure which has potential for enhanced fracture toughness. Li2 O evaporates during sintering. Thus, the liquid phase is transient and the final material might have promising mechanical properties as well as promising high-temperature properties despite the low sintering temperature. The results show that the Li2 O−Y2 O3 system can provide very effective low-temperature sintering additives for silicon nitride. 相似文献

The microstructure of a pressureless sintered (1605°C, 90 min) O'+β' SiAlON ceramic with CeO2 doping has been investigated. It is duplex in nature, consisting of very large, slablike elongated O' grains (20–30 μm long), and a continuous matrix of small rodlike β' grains (< 1.0 μm in length). Many α-Si3 N4 inclusions (0.1–0.5 μm in size) were found in the large O' grains. CeO2 -doping and its high doping level as well as the high Al2 O3 concentration were thought to be the main reasons for accelerating the reaction between the α-Si3 N4 and the Si-Al-O-N liquid to precipitate O'–SiAlON. This caused the supergrowth of O' grains. The rapid growth of O' crystals isolated the remnant α–Si3 N4 from the reacting liquid, resulting in a delay in the α→β-Si3 N4 transformation. The large O' grains and the α-Si3 N4 inclusions have a pronounced effect on the strength degradation of O'+β' ceramics. 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

Starting from Si powder, NaN3 and different additives such as N -aminothiourea, iodine, or both, Si3 N4 nanomaterials were synthesized through the nitridation of silicon powder in autoclaves at 60°–190°C. As the additive was only N -aminothiourea, β-Si3 N4 nanorods and α-Si3 N4 nanoparticles were prepared at 170°C. If the additive was only iodine, α-Si3 N4 dendrites with β-Si3 N4 nanorods were obtained at 190°C. However, when both N -aminothiourea and iodine were added to the system of Si and NaN3 , the products composed of β-Si3 N4 nanorods and α, β-Si3 N4 nanoparticles could be prepared at 60°C. 相似文献

Sintering kinetics of the system Si3 N4-Y2O3 -Al2 O3 were determined from measurements of the linear shrinkage of pressed disks sintered isothermally at 1500° to 1700°C. Amorphous and crystalline Si3 N4 were studied with additions of 4 to 17 wt% Y2 O3 and 4 wt% A12 O3 . Sintering occurs by a liquid-phase mechanism in which the kinetics exhibit the three stages predicted by Kingery's model. However, the rates during the second stage of the process are higher for all compositions than predicted by the model. X-ray data show the presence of several transient phases which, with sufficient heating, disappear leaving mixtures of β ' -Si3 N4 and glass or β '-Si3 N4 , α '-Si3 N4 , and glass. The compositions and amounts of the residual glassy phases are estimated. 相似文献

In this paper, a new net-shaping process, an hydrolysis-induced aqueous gelcasting (GC) (GCHAS) has been reported for consolidation of β-Si4 Al2 O2 N6 ceramics from aqueous slurries containing 48–50 vol%α-Si3 N4 , α-Al2 O3 , AlN, and Y2 O3 powders mixture. Dense ceramics of same composition were also consolidated by aqueous GC and hydrolysis assisted solidification routes. Among three techniques used, the GCHAS process was found to be superior for fabricating defect-free thin wall β-Si4 Al2 O2 N6 crucibles and tubes. Before use, the as purchased AlN powder was passivated against hydrolysis. The sintered β-Si4 Al2 O2 N6 ceramics exhibited comparable properties with those reported for similar materials in the literature. 相似文献

The development of microstructure in hot-pressed Sia N4 was studiehd for a typical Si3 N4 powder with and without BeSiN2 as a densification aid. The effect of hot-pressing temperature on density, α- to β-Si3 N4 conversion and specific surface area showed that BeSiN2 appears to increase the mobility of the system by enhancing densification, α- to β-Si3 N4 transformation, and grain growth at temperatures between 1450° and 1800°. These processes appear to occur in the presence of a liquid phase. 相似文献

The densification behavior of Si3 N4 containing MgO was studied in detail. It was concluded that MgO forms a liquid phase (most likely a magnesium silicate). This liquid wets and allows atomic transfer of Si3 N4 . Evidence of a second-phase material between the Si3 N4 grains was obtained through etching studies. Transformation of α- to β-Si3 N4 during hot-pressing is not necessary for densification. 相似文献

The in situ β-Si3 N4 /α'-SiAlON composite was studied along the Si3 N4 –Y2 O3 : 9 AlN composition line. This two phase composite was fully densified at 1780°C by hot pressing Densification curves and phase developments of the β-Si3 N4 /α'-SiAlON composite were found to vary with composition. Because of the cooperative formation of α'-Si AlON and β-Si3 N4 during its phase development, this composite had equiaxed α'-SiAlON (∼0.2 μm) and elongated β-Si3 N4 fine grains. The optimum mechanical properties of this two-phase composite were in the sample with 30–40%α', which had a flexural strength of 1100 MPa at 25°C 800 MPa at 1400°C in air, and a fracture toughness 6 Mpa·m1/2 . α'-SiAlON grains were equiaxed under a sintering condition at 1780°C or lower temperatures. Morphologies of the α°-SiAlON grains were affected by the sintering conditions. 相似文献

Silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) was synthesized by a selective combustion reaction of silicon powder with nitrogen in air. The α/β-Si3 N4 ratio of the interior product could be tailored by adjusting the Si3 N4 -diluent content in the reactant mixtures. The synthetic β-Si3 N4 showed a well-crystallized rod-like morphology. Mechanical activation greatly enhanced the reactivity of silicon powder, and the slow oxidation of silicon at the sample surface promoted the combustion reaction in air. The formation mechanism of Si3 N4 was analyzed based on a proposed N2 /O2 diffusion kinetic model, and the calculated result is in good agreement with the experimental phenomenon. 相似文献

The properties of Si3 N4 compositions produced by nitriding slip-cast Si bodies containing up to 16% Si3 N4 grog were determined. The introduction of grog consistently lowered the densities, the room- and high-temperature strengths, and the resistance to oxidation. The open structure of the grog-containing mixes favored low-temperature gas-phase reactions leading to α-Si3 N4 formation. In higher-density compositions containing predominantly Si, gas-liquid-solid reactions at higher temperatures produced a relatively greater content of the β phase. 相似文献

A thorough analysis of a silicon nitride (Si3 N4 )-bonded SiC sidelining material from a Hall-Heroult electrolysis cell is reported. Phase composition before and after chemical degradation of the material is obtained by quantitative analysis using Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data and chemical analysis. The main degradation products as a result of the oxidation of Si3 N4 binder phase are Si2 ON2 in the upper part and Na2 SiO3 in the lower part of the sidelining. The microstructure of α-Si3 N4 (needle) and β-Si3 N4 (shell) as well as the degradation products Si2 ON2 (fiber) and Na2 SiO3 (flake) were revealed by electron microprobe analysis. Chemical reactions and degradation mechanisms are proposed based on the presented findings. The degradation in the lower part is more severe than that in the upper part because Na diffusion from the cathode enhances the oxidation of Si3 N4 . The degradation changes the physical properties of Si3 N4 -bonded SiC such as density and porosity. 相似文献

The subsolidus phase diagram of the quasiternary system Si3 N4 -AlN-Y2 O3 was established. In this system α-Si3 N4 forms a solid solution with 0.1Y2 O3 : 0.9 AIN. The solubility limits are represented by Y0.33 Si10.5 Al1.5 O0.5 N15.5 and Y0.67 Si9 A13 ON15 . At 1700°C an equilibrium exists between β-Si3 N4 and this solid solution. 相似文献

The rates of densification and phase transformation undergone by α-Si3 N4 during hot-pressing in the presence of Y2 O3 , Y2 O3 −2SiO2 , and Li2 0−2Si02 as additives were studied. Although these systems behave less simply than MgO-doped Si3 N4 , the data can be interpreted during the early stages of hot-pressing as resulting from a solution-diffusion-reprecipitation mechanism, where the diffusion step is rate controlling and where the reprecipitation step invariably results in the formation of the β-Si3 N4 phase. 相似文献

Silicon nitride particle-reinforced silicon nitride matrix composites were fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). The particle preforms with a bimodal pore size distribution were favorable for the subsequent CVI process, which included intraagglomerate pores (0.1–4 μm) and interagglomerate pores (20–300 μm). X-ray fluorescence results showed that the main elements of the composites are Si, N, and O. The composite is composed of α-Si3 N4 , amorphous Si3 N4 , amorphous SiO2 , and a small amount of β-Si3 N4 and free silicon. The α-Si3 N4 transformed into β-Si3 N4 after heat treatment at 1600°C for 2 h. The flexural strength, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss of the Si3 N4(p) /Si3 N4 composites increased with increasing infiltration time; however, the pore ratios decreased with increasing infiltration time. The maximum value of the flexural strength was 114.07 MPa. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the composites were 4.47 and 4.25 × 10−3 , respectively. The present Si3 N4(p) /Si3 N4 composite is a good candidate for high-temperature radomes. 相似文献
