The yttrium–sialon ceramics with the composition of Y0.333 Si10 Al2 ON15 and an excess addition of Y2 O3 (2 or 5 wt%) were fabricated by hot isostatic press (HIP) sintering at 1800°C for 1 h. The resulting materials were subsequently heat-treated in the temperature range 1300–1900°C to investigate its effect on the α→β-sialon phase transformation, the morphology of α-sialon grains, and mechanical properties. The results show that α-sialons stabilized by yttrium have high thermal stability. An adjustment of the α-sialon phase composition is the dominating reaction in the investigated Y–α-sialon ceramics during low-temperature annealing. Incorporation of excess Y2 O3 could effectively promote the formation of elongated α-sialon grains during post-heat-treating at relatively higher temperature (1700° and 1900°C) and hence resulted in a high fracture toughness ( K IC = 6.3 MPa·m1/2 ) via grain debonding and pullout effects. Although the addition of 5 wt% Y2 O3 could promote the growth of elongated α grains with a higher aspect ratio, the higher liquid-phase content increased the interfacial bonding strength and therefore hindered interface debonding and crack deflection. The heat treatment at 1500°C significantly changed the morphology of α-sialon grains from elongated to equiaxed and hence decreased its toughness. 相似文献

Dense sialon ceramics along the tie line between Si3 N4 and Nd2 O3 ·9AlN were prepared by hot-pressing at 1800°C. The materials were subsequently heat-treated in the temperature range 1300–1750°C and cooled either by turning off the furnace (yielding a cooling rate (Tcool ) of ∼50°C/min) or quenching (Tcool ≥ 400°C/min). It was found necessary to use the quenching technique to reveal the true phase relationships at high temperature, and it was established that single-phase α-sialon forms for 0.30 x 0. 51 in the formula Ndx Si12–4S x Al4.5 x O1. 5 x , N16–1.5 x . The α-sialon is stable only at temperatures above 1650°C, and it transforms at lower temperatures by two slightly different diffusion-controlled processes. Firstly, an α-sialon phase with lower Nd content is formed together with an Al-containing Nd-melilite phase, and upon prolonged heat treatment thus-formed α-sialon decomposes to the more stable β-sialon and either the melilite phase or a new phase of the composition NdAl(Si6-z Alz )N10-z Oz . Nd-doped α-sialon ceramics containing no crystalline intergranular phase show very high hardness (HV10 = 22. 5 GPa) and a fracture toughness ( K lc = 4.4 MPa·m1/2 ) at room temperature. The presence of the melilite phase, which easily formed when slow cooling rates were applied or by post-heat-treatment, reduced both the fracture toughness and hardness of the materials. 相似文献

The formation of the melilite solid solution phase (M'), Sm2 Si3−x Alx O3+x N4−x , in an α-sialon sample of overall composition Sm0.6 Si9.28 Al2.69 O1.36 N14.76 , was studied as a function of time in the temperature interval 1375–1525°C. The alpha-sialon ceramic contained only minor amounts of the 21R sialon polytype and some residual grain-boundary glass before heat treatment. In situ studies by high-temperature X-ray diffraction were combined with postsintering heat treatment followed by quenching. The M'-phase was found to be formed by two different mechanisms: either crystallization of the residual grain-boundary liquid or a direct decomposition of the α-sialon phase. The liquid crystallized during the first 10–15 min of heat treatment, yielding a rapid M'-phase formation, and further formation of M'-phase continued at a much slower rate, related to the decomposition of α-sialon. 相似文献

The Pr α-sialon powders prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), consisting of 55 wt% Pr α-sialon and 45 wt% of β-sialon (abbreviated as α' and β'), were hot-pressed at 1800°C for 1 h. The results showed that Pr α' phase would transfer to β' with the appearance of JEM phase (Pr(Si6− z Al z )(N10− z O z )) after sintering, thus resulting in the increase of β' phase to 86 wt%. The addition of Y2 O3 into SHS-ed Pr α' powders as the starting materials restrains the transformation of α' to β' and prevents the formation of JEM phase as well. The nucleation mechanism of Pr α' grain during hot-pressing was investigated in terms of transmission electron microscope and energy-dispersive spectrometer analysis. Two nucleation modes of Pr α' grains were found, i.e., nucleating on the undissolved Pr α' grains and on the nuclei of (Pr, Y) α' grains precipitated from liquid phase. 相似文献

Plasma etching of β-Si3 N4 , α-sialon/β-Si3 N4 and α-sialon ceramics were performed with hydrogen glow plasma at 600°C for 10 h. The preferential etching of β-Si3 N4 grains was observed. The etching rate of α-sialon grains and of the grain-boundary glassy phase was distinctly lower than that of β-Si3 N4 grains. The size, shape, and distribution of β-Si3 N4 grains in the α-sialon/β-Si3 N4 composite ceramics were revealed by the present method. 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

β-sialon and Nd2 O3 -doped α-sialon materials of varying composition were prepared by sintering at 1775° and 1825°C and by glass-encapsulated hot isostatic pressing at 1700°C. Composites were also prepared by adding 2–20 wt% ZrO2 (3 mol% Nd2 O3 ) or 2–20 wt% ZrN to the β-sialon and α-sialon matrix, respectively. Neodymium was found to be a fairly poor α-sialon stabilizer even within the α-phase solid solution area, and addition of ZrN further inhibited the formation of the α-sialon phase. A decrease in Vickers hardness and an increase in toughness with increasing content of ZrO2 (Nd2 O3 ) or ZrN were seen in both the HIPed β-sialon/ZrO2 (Nd2 O3 ) composites and the HIPed Nd2 O3 -stabiIized α-sialons with ZrN additions. 相似文献

Dense α-sialon materials were produced by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and post-hot isostatic pressing (post-HIP) using compositions with the formula Y x (Si12–4.5 x , Al4.5 x )-(O1.5 x ,N16–1.5 x ) with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9 and with the same compositions with extra additions of yttria and aluminum nitride. X-ray diffraction analyses show how the phase content changes from large amounts of β-sialon ( x = 0.1) to large amounts of α-sialon ( x = 0.4) and increasing amounts of mellilite and sialon polytypoids ( x = 0.8). Samples HIPed at 1600°C for 2 h contained unreacted α-silicon nitride, while those HIPed at 1750°C for 1 h did not. This could be due to the fact that the time is to short to achieve equilibrium or that the high pressure (200 MPa) prohibits α-sialon formation. Sintering at atmospheric pressure leads to open porosity for all compositions except those with excess yttria. Therefore, only samples with excess yttria were post-HIPed. Microstructrual analyses showed that the post-HIPed samples had the highest α-sialon content. A higher amount of α-sialon and subsequently a lower amount of intergranular phase were detected at x = 0.3 and x = 0.4 in the post-HIPed samples in comparison to the HIPed. The hardness (HV10) and fracture toughness ( K IC ) did not differ significantly between HIPed and post-HIPed materials but vary with different x values due to different phase contents. Measurements of cell parameters for all compositions show a continuous increase with increasing x value which is enhanced by high pressure at high x values. 相似文献

β-Sialon powder was synthesized by the simultaneous reduction and nitridation of Hadong kaolin at 1350°C in an N2 –H2 atmosphere, using graphite as a reducing agent. The average particle size of β-sialon powder was about 4.5 μm. The synthesized β-sialon powder was pressureless sintered from 1450° to 1850°C under a N2 atmosphere. The relative density, modulus of rupture, fracture toughness, and microhardness of β-sialon ceramics sintered at 1800°C for 1 h were 92%, 248 MPa, 2.8 MN/m3/2 , and 13.3 GN/m2 , respectively. The critical temperature difference (ΔTc ) in water-quench thermal-shock behavior was about 375°C for the synthesized β-sialon ceramics. 相似文献

Nitrogen-rich Ca–α-SiAlON ceramics with nominal compositions Ca x Si12−2 x Al2 x N16 and 0.2≤ x ≤2.6, extending along the Si3 N4 –1/2Ca3 N2 :3AlN tie line, were prepared from Si3 N4 , AlN, and CaH2 precursors by hot pressing at 1800°C. The x values attained were determined by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data using the Rietveld method. The results show that Ca–α-SiAlONs form continuously within the compositional range x =0 to at least x =1.82. Phase assemblages, lattice parameters, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness were determined and correlated to the calcium content, x . Owing to a high sintering temperature and the use of CaH2 as a precursor, grain growth was kinetically enhanced, resulting in self-reinforced microstructures with elongated grains. The obtained Ca–α-SiAlON ceramics demonstrate a combination of both high hardness ∼21 GPa, and high fracture toughness ∼5.5 MPa·m1/2 . 相似文献

MoSi2 -particulate-reinforced α-SiAlON ceramic composites containing 10, 20, 25, and 30 vol% were prepared by hot pressing at 1750°-1800°C. The α-SiAlON matrix was of the composition (Y0.48 Si10.00 A12.30 O1.17 N15.29 ). The hardness for the fully dense samples changed from HV10 = 22.5 to 15.3 GPa and the toughness from 3.2 to around 5.2 MPa. m1/2 when up to 30 vol% MoSi2 was present. Two interesting microstructural features have been found. First, with an increasing amount of MoSi2 a pronounced coalescence of MoSi2 particles formed a "dual phase" material. The second effect was the growth of elongated α-SiAlON grains in the matrix with 10 vol% MoSi2 added. The oxidation resistance has been determined to be unaffected by the addition of 2hd vol % MoSi2 at 1250°C in oxygen gas of l atm pressure. 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

The translucent Mg-α-sialon ceramics have been prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) α-Si3 N4 powder with AlN and MgO as the additives at 1850°C for 5 min. The sample possesses a uniform, dense microstructure under the rapid densification of SPS process. The translucent Mg-α-sialon ceramics achieve the maximum transmittance of 66.4% for the sample of 0.5 mm in thickness in the medium infrared region, which could be attributed to the equiaxed microstructure and few glassy phase confirmed by the observation of transmission electron microscopy. The material also exhibits good mechanical properties of high hardness (21.4±0.3 GPa) and fracture toughness (6.1±0.1 MPa·m1/2 ). 相似文献

Dy-α-sialon and β-Si3 N4 materials containing Dy-oxynitride glass were hot pressed at 1800°C for 1 h. The luminescence spectra of Dy3+ in these samples were compared when excited at 350 nm. The results showed that two strong emission bands in the region 470–500 nm and 570-600 nm, associated with the 4 F9/2 →6 H15/2 and 4 F9/2 →6 H13/2 transitions of Dy3+ ions, were observed in Dy-α-sialon. However, no emission peak was detected from the β-Si3 N4 sample, despite it containing the same amount of Dy3+ cations. This proved that only the Dy3+ cations in the α-sialon structure, not those in the oxynitride glass, produce the luminescence spectrum. 相似文献

Yellow-emitting α-sialon:Eu2+ phosphors have been reported as interesting down-conversion luminescent materials in white LEDs. In this work, the thermal quenching of α-sialon:Eu2+ with the compositions of Mval+ ( m /val+) Si12−( m + n ) Al m + n O n N16− n (M=Ca, Mg, Lu) is studied by investigating the effects of chemical composition, activator concentration, and substitution cation on the temperature-dependent luminescence. The chemical composition of α-sialon:Eu2+ was varied in a wide range (0.5≤ m ≤2.0, 1≤ n ≤1.8). It shows that the m value significantly affects the thermal quenching of α-sialon, whereas the n value hardly does. This difference is ascribed to the obvious lattice expansion and the increase of absolute activator concentration as m increases. The thermal quenching increases with increasing the Eu2+ concentration, which is due to enhanced Stokes shift. The type of substitution cation also has an influence on thermal quenching. Among the substitution cations in this work, Lu-α-sialon:Eu2+ exhibits largest thermal quenching. Photoionization is considered as the mechanism for the thermal quenching of Lu-α-sialon: Eu2+ . 相似文献

Hot-pressed Dy-α-sialon ceramics, using LiF as a sintering additive, were fabricated at lower temperatures (≤1650°C). Some of the densified samples possessed higher hardness and fracture toughness up to 19.00–20.00 GPa and 4.00–6.00 MPa·m1/2 , respectively. The amount of LiF had a strong effect on the densification behavior in sialon preparation. As one of the experimental results, the sample with 0.1 wt% of LiF additive sintered at 1600°C produced an optical translucence of about 50% in the range of 1.5–5.0 μm wavelengths. The maximum infrared transmission reached ∼60% at a wavelength of 2.4 μm. It is inferred that these more easily sintered materials would be practical for optical applications in certain fields. 相似文献

Crystals of β-Ca2 SiO4 (space group P 121 / n 1) were examined by high-temperature powder X-ray diffractometry to determine the change in unit-cell dimensions with temperature up to 645°C. The temperature dependence of the principal expansion coefficients (αi ) found from the matrix algebra analysis was as follows: α1 = 20.492 × 10−6 + 16.490 × 10−9 ( T - 25)°C−1 , α2 = 7.494 × 10−6 + 5.168 × 10−9 ( T - 25)°C−1 , α3 =−0.842 × 10−6 − 1.497 × 10−9 ( T - 25)°C−1 . The expansion coefficient α1 , nearly along [302] was approximately 3 times α2 along the b -axis. Very small contraction (α3 ) occurred nearly along [ 01]. The volume changes upon martensitic transformations of β↔αL ' were very small, and the strain accommodation would be almost complete. This is consistent with the thermoelasticity. 相似文献

Particulate ceramic composites that were composed of a combustion-synthesized β';-SiAlON matrix and dispersed MoSi2 particles were hot pressed at 1600°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. The physical and mechanical properties of the composites that contained 15, 30, and 45 vol% MoSi2 were evaluated. The average four-point bend strength, fracture toughness, and Vickers hardness of the composites were in the ranges of 500-600 MPa, 3-4 MP·am1/2 , and 11-13 GPa, respectively. The measured mechanical strength and hardness were very similar to the values that were predicted from the rule of mixtures. The fracture toughness of the combustion-synthesized β';-SiAlON (2.5 MPa·m1/2 ) was apparently enhanced by the MoSi2 particles that were added. The increase in the fracture toughness was predominately attributed to the residual thermal stress that was induced by the thermal expansion mismatch between the MoSi2 particles and the β';-SiAlON matrix. The composites showed improved electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance over monolithic β';-SiAlON. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy examination of the composites indicated that the MoSi2 was chemically well compatible with the β';-SiAlON. 相似文献

Gas-pressure sintering of α-Si3 N4 was carried out at 1850 ° to 2000°C in 980-kPa N2 . The diameters and aspect ratios of hexagonal grains in the sintered materials were measured on polished and etched surfaces. The materials have a bimodal distribution of grain diameters. The average aspect ratio in the materials from α-Si3 N4 powder was similar to that in the materials from β-Si3 N4 powder. The aspect ratio of large and elongated grains was larger than that of the average for all grains. The development of elongated grains was related to the formation of large nuclei during the α-to-β phase transformation. The fracture toughness of gaspressure-sintered materials was not related to the α content in the starting powder or the aspect ratio of the grains, but to the diameter of the large grains. Crack bridging was the main toughening mechanism in gas-pressure-sintered Si3 N4 ceramics. 相似文献

This paper reports the texturing behavior of β-sialon by strong magnetic field alignment (SMFA) during slip casting, followed by reaction pressureless sintering, using either α or β-Si3 N4 , Al2 O3 , and AlN as the starting materials. It is found that the β-Si3 N4 crystal exhibits a substantially stronger orientation ability than the α-Si3 N4 crystal regardless of the Si3 N4 raw powders in the magnetic field of 12 T. The β-raw powder produces a highly a , b -axis-oriented β-Si3 N4 green body with a Lotgering orientation factor of up to 0.97. During sintering, the β-raw powder allows the a , b -axis-oriented β-sialon to retain the Lotgering orientation factor similar to and even higher than that of β-Si3 N4 in the green body. In contrast, the α-raw powder leads to a faster transformation rate of α/β-Si3 N4 to β-sialon but a substantially lower texture in β-sialon. The results indicate that the use of the β-raw powder is more efficient for producing highly textured β-sialon via SMFA than that of the α-raw powder as well as the prolonged sintering. 相似文献
