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

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

Duplex αβ,-sialon ceramics with a minimum volume fraction of residual intergranular glass have been prepared using Dy or Sm as the α-sialon stabilizing element. These microstructures contained high aspect ratio β-sialon grains homogeneously distributed in an α-sialon matrix. A number of the larger α-sialon grains contained dislocations and showed a core/shell structure. Dy gave an α-sialon which was stable over a wide temperature range (1350–1800°C) for long holding times, while the use of Sm resulted in less stable α-sialon structures at medium temperatures (1450°C) and the formation of melilite, R2 Si3−x Alx O3+x N4−x , β-sialon, and the 21R sialon polytype during prolonged heating. High α-phase contents gave a very high hardness ( H V10 is approximately 22 GPa) but a comparatively low indentation fracture toughness (around 4.4 MPam1/2 ). Duplex sialons fabricated from powder mixtures corresponding to an α-to-β sialon ratio of around 50:50 resulted in a sialon material with a favorable combination of high hardness (around 22 GPa) and increased toughness (to around 5.5 MPam1/2 ). 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

Electrical conductivity was measured from 850° to 1400°C for β-sialon and pure X phase as well as for the sintered system Si3 N4 -Al2 O3 , containing β-sialon, X phase, β-Si3 N4 , and glassy phase. Ionic conductivity was measured at >1000°C. The charge carriers were identified by electrolysis. The results showed that pure β-sialon is ionically conducting because of Si4+ migration for the temperature range studied. Pure X phase shows ionic conduction by Si4+ above 1000°; below 1000°C, it shows electronic conduction because of impurities. The conductivity of the sintered system Si3 N4 -Al2 O3 containing β-sialon, β-Si3 N4 X phase, and glassy phase changes as the relative quantities of β -sialon and X phase change. The apparent activation energies for the ionic and electronic conductivities are 45 and 20 kcal/mol, respectively. 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

Single crystals of α-Si3 N4 were annealed at 2000°–2150°C. The β phase was detected after annealing at 2150°C only when the crystals were surrounded by MgO·3Al2 O3 or Y2 O3 powders. On the other hand, no evidence of the α–β transformation was found when the crystals were annealed without additives. The solution–precipitation mechanism was concluded to be the dominant factor in the α–β transformation of Si3 N4 . 相似文献

Dense, single-phase β-sialon ceramics were sintered at 1700°C and 200 MPa using the glass-encapsulated hot isostatic pressing technique. The materials were very hard, 1500 to 1700 kg / mm2 (98 N load), but were fairly brittle, with an indention fracture toughness of about 3 MPa · m1/2 . The addition of 1 wt% Y2 O3 before sintering had a positive effect on the toughness, especially at the low x compositions of Si3-x Alx Ox N4-x , where KIC ∼4 MPa · m1/2 . 相似文献

Improvement of Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Porous β-SiAlON Ceramics by Low Y2 O3 Additions 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Addition of Y2 O3 as a sintering additive to porous β-SiAlON (Si6− z Al z O z N8− z , z = 0.5) ceramics has been investigated for improved mechanical properties. Porous SiAlON ceramics with 0.05–0.15 wt% (500–1500 wppm) Y2 O3 were fabricated by pressureless sintering at temperatures of 1700°, 1800°, and 1850°C. The densification, microstructure, and mechanical properties were compared with those of Y2 O3 -free ceramics of the same chemical composition. Although this level of Y2 O3 addition did not change the phase formation and grain size, the grain bonding appeared to be promoted, and the densification to be enhanced. There was a significant increase in the flexural strength of the SiAlON ceramics relative to the Y2 O3 -free counterpart. After exposure in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution at 70°C for 120 h, no remarkable weight loss and degradation of the mechanical properties (flexural and compression strength) was observed, which was attributed to the limited grain boundary phase, and with the minor Y2 O3 addition the supposed formation of Y-α-SiAlON. 相似文献

Porous Si3 N4 ceramics were synthesized by pressureless sintering of green compacts prepared using slip casting of slurries containing Si3 N4 , 5 wt% Y2 O3 +2 wt% Al2 O3 , and 0–60% organic whiskers composed of phenol–formaldehyde resin with solids loading up to 60 wt%. Rheological properties of slurries were optimized to achieve a high degree of dispersion with a high solid-volume fraction. Samples were heated at 800°C in air and sintered at 1850°C in a N2 atmosphere. Porosities ranging from 0% to 45% were obtained by the whisker contents (corresponding to 0–60 vol% whisker). Samples exhibited a uniform pore distribution. Their rod-shaped pore morphology originated from burnout of whiskers, and an extremely dense Si3 N4 matrix. 相似文献

Silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) ceramics, prepared with Y2 O3 and Al2 O3 sintering additives, have been densified in air at temperatures of up to 1750°C using a conventional MoSi2 element furnace. At the highest sintering temperatures, densities in excess of 98% of theoretical have been achieved for materials prepared with a combined sintering addition of 12 wt% Y2 O3 and 3 wt% Al2 O3 . Densification is accompanied by a small weight gain (typically <1–2 wt%), because of limited passive oxidation of the sample. Complete α- to β-Si3 N4 transformation can be achieved at temperatures above 1650°C, although a low volume fraction of Si2 N2 O is also observed to form below 1750°C. Partial crystallization of the residual grain-boundary glassy phase was also apparent, with β-Y2 Si2 O7 being noted in the majority of samples. The microstructures of the sintered materials exhibited typical β-Si3 N4 elongated grain morphologies, indicating potential for low-cost processing of in situ toughened Si3 N4 -based ceramics. 相似文献

Different SiAION composites based on α'-SiAION are investigated, with respect to the phase relationships, densification behavior, and mechanical properties. The compositions are located on a phase-diagram line parallel to the Si3 N4 -Y2 O3 9AIN compound in the Si3 N4 -SiO2 -AlN-Al2 O3 -Y2 O3 -YN system. Analysis of the reaction sequences shows that the formation of the composites is associated with the transient appearance of Y4 A12 O9 (YAM), yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG), melilite, and a nitrogen-rich liquid phase. The small shift of compositions on the Si3 N4 -Y2 O3 -9AIN compound phase-diagram line toward the Al2 O3 -rich side offers the advantage of a higher sinterability and the removal of the melilite phase from a wide range of compositions containing α'-SiAlON and polytypes. The α'/β'-SiAlON composites show better mechanical properties in comparison to pure α'-SiAlON and composites of α'-SiAION and polytypes. A post-heat-treatment causes the crystallization of YAG as a grain-boundary phase and leads to excellent strength retention up to temperatures of 1350°C. 相似文献

Amorphous Al2 O3 –ZrO2 composite powders with 5–30 mol% ZrO2 have been prepared by adding aqueous ammonia to the mixed solution of aqueous aluminum sulfate and zirconium alkoxide containing 2-propanol. Simultaneous crystallization of γ-Al2 O3 and t -ZrO2 occurs at 870°–980°C. The γ-Al2 O3 transforms to α-Al2 O3 at 1160°–1220°C. Hot isostatic pressing has been performed for 1 h at 1400°C under 196 MPa using α-Al2 O3 – t -ZrO2 composite powders. Dense ZrO2 -toughened Al2 O3 (ZTA) ceramics with homogeneous-dispersed ZrO2 particles show excellent mechanical properties. The toughening mechanism is discussed. The microstructures and t / m ratios of ZTA are examined, with emphasis on the relation between strength and fracture toughness. 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

Si3 N4 test bars containing additions of BN, B4 C, and C, were hot isostatically pressed in Ta cladding at 1900° and 2050°C to 98.9% to 99.5% theoretical density. Room-temperature strength data on specimens containing 2 wt% BN and 0.5 wt% C were comparable to data obtained for Si3 N4 sintered with Y2 O3 , Y2 O3 and Al2 O3 , or ZrO2 . The 1370°C strengths were less than those obtained for additions of Y2 O3 or ZrO2 but greater than those obtained from a combination of Y2 O3 and Al2 O3 . Scanning electron microscope fractography indicated that, as with other types of Si3 N4 , roomtemperature strength was controlled by processing flaws. The decrease in strength at 1370°C was typical of Si3 N4 having an amorphous grainboundary phase. The primary advantage of non-oxide additions appears to be in facilitating specimen removal from the Ta cladding. 相似文献

A significant solubility of Al in N-melilite phases (M) has been observed, and this results in the formation of a melilite solid solution (M'ss ) of general formula Ln2 Si3 − x Al x O3 + x N4 − x (Ln = rare earth). Up to one Si can be replaced by Al without change of structure, and the M'solid solution terminates at Ln2 Si2 AlO4 N3 in samarium SiAlON systems. M'ss may appear as an intermediate phase during the sintering of SiAlONs, and its melting temperature is critical to the densification of the materials. For example, samarium M'ss melts at a temperature lower than neodymium M'ss , and as a result, samarium oxide shows better densification behavior in the preparation of α-SiAION ceramics than does neodymium oxide. Devitrification of M'ss from an amorphous grain boundary phase occurs above 1500°C during post heat-treatment. The M'ss is refractory and may offer better oxidation resistance than N-melilite because of the replacement of Al─O for Si─N in the structure. Therefore M'ss , is considered to be a most desirable grain boundary phase for α and α–β SiAlON ceramics. 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

Reaction Sintering and Properties of Silicon Oxynitride Densified by Hot Isostatic Pressing 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Richard Larker 《Journal of the American Ceramic Society》1992,75(1):62-66
Silicon oxynitride ceramics were reaction sintered and fully densified by hot isostatic pressing in the temperature range 1700°C to 1950°C from an equimolar mixture of silicon nitride and silica powders without additives. Conversion to Si2 N2 O increases steeply from a level around 5% of the crystalline phases at 1700°C to 80% at 1800°C, and increases a few percent further at higher temperatures. α -Si3 N4 is the major residual crystalline phase below 1900°C. The hardness level for materials containing 85% Si2 N2 O is approximately 19 GPa, comparable with the hardness of Si3 N4 hot isostatically pressed with 2.5 wt% Y2 O3 , while the fracture toughness level is around 3.1 MPa. m1/2 , being approximately 0.8 MPa.m1/2 lower. The three-point bending strength increased with HIP temperature from approximately 300 to 500 MPa. 相似文献
