Refractory Y-α-SiAlON with elongated grain morphology was obtained by utilizing La2 O3 as a densification aid, which resulted in excellent room-temperature and high-temperature strength. Room-temperature strength of 1000 MPa was achieved when La2 O3 was augmented by adding Y2 O3 or removing AlN. With only La2 O3 , a temperature-independent strength of 800–950 MPa was maintained up to 1100°C, then gradually decreasing by 25% when reaching 1300°C. The R-curve measurements of fracture toughness showed relatively little dependence on microstructure, consistent with a strong interface that suppresses grain boundary decohesion. Compared with other densification aids such as SiO2 , Al2 O3 , Sc2 O3 , Y2 O3 , and Lu2 O3 , a finer microstructure was obtained by using La2 O3 . High nitrogen content in the residual La–Si–Al–O–N glass in equilibrium with the nitrogen-rich α-SiAlON is suggested to be the cause of these findings. 相似文献

Single-phase β'-SiAlON (Si6− z Al z O z N8− z , z = 0–4.2) ceramics with porous structure have been prepared by pressureless sintering of powder mixtures of á-Si3 N4 , AlN, and Al2 O3 of the SiAlON compositions. A solution of AlN and Al2 O3 into Si3 N4 resulted in the β'-SiAlON, and full densification was prohibited because no other sintering additives were used. Relative densities ranging from 50%–90% were adjusted with the z -value and sintering temperature. The results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses indicated that single-phase β'-SiAlON free from a grain boundary glassy phase could be obtained. Both grain and pore sizes increased with increasing z -value. Low z -value resulted in a relatively high flexural strength. 相似文献

A series of silicon carbide-based ceramics with different sintering additives were liquid-phase sintered to high densities. Yb2 O3 in combination with AlN was used as the additive, instead of the commonly used Y2 O3 –AlN, to improve the refractoriness of the secondary phase. Thermo-chemical decomposition of AlN was sufficiently suppressed with the use of nitrogen overpressure and reasonable weight loss was achieved in the different additive containing SiC ceramics without a reactive powder bed. Use of the heavier rare-earth element modified the liquid phase formed during sintering and reduced the phase transformation controlled grain growth rate, compared with Y2 O3 doped materials. It also permitted microstructure tailoring through post-sintering heat treatments in nitrogen. Materials with self-reinforced microstructures, formed as a result of anisotropic grain growth, were obtained. Improved fracture toughness (4.5–5 MPa/m1/2 ) and good flexural strength retention up to 1400°C were also observed. 相似文献

The effect of rare-earth oxide additives on the densification of silicon nitride by pressureless sintering at 1600° to 1700°C and by gas pressure sintering under 10 MPa of N2 at 1800° to 2000°C was studied. When a single-component oxide, such as CeO2 , Nd2 O3 , La2 O3 , Sm2 O3 , or Y2 O3 , was used as an additive, the sintering temperature required to reach approximate theoretical density became higher as the melting temperature of the oxide increased. When a mixed oxide additive, such as Y2 O3 –Ln2 O3 (Ln=Ce, Nd, La, Sm), was used, higher densification was achieved below 2000°C because of a lower liquid formation temperature. The sinterability of silicon nitride ceramics with the addition of rare-earth oxides is discussed in relation to the additive compositions. 相似文献

A possibility to produce microwave (MW) dielectric materials by liquid-phase sintering of fine particles was investigated. Zn3 Nb2 O8 powders with a grain size 50–300 nm were obtained by the thermal decomposition of freeze-dried Zn–Nb hydroxides or frozen oxalate solutions. The crystallization of Zn3 Nb2 O8 from amorphous decomposition products was often accompanied by the simultaneous formation of ZnNb2 O6 . Maximum sintering activity was observed for single-phase crystalline Zn3 Nb2 O8 powders obtained at the lowest temperature. The sintering of as-obtained powders with CuO–V2 O5 sintering aids results in producing MW dielectric ceramics with a density 93%–97% of the theoretical, and a Q × f product up to 36 000 GHz at sintering temperature ( T s )≥680°C. The high level of MW dielectric properties of ceramics was ensured by intensive grain growth during the densification and the thermal processing of ceramics. 相似文献

Europium (Eu) was found to act as a solid-state sintering aid in Y2 O3 optical ceramics by controlling ionic diffusivity, which in turn leads to enhanced optical transparency. Transparent ceramic samples of Eu-doped Y2 O3 , with no additional additives, were sintered by uniaxial vacuum hot pressing under 40 MPa and maximum temperature of 1580°C. Optical attenuation was found to decrease with increasing Eu concentrations between 0 and 5 at% for ceramics processed under the same sintering conditions. In order to study the effect of Eu concentration on ceramic densification, the strain rate and grain size during sintering at constant temperature and varied pressure were measured. A diffusional flow densification model was used to derive instantaneous effective diffusion constants for the densification process. Diffusion constants were found to increase with increasing Eu concentration according to a log–linear relationship. Eu2+ was detected in samples after hot pressing through fluorescence spectroscopy, and the extrinsic defect chemistry was found to be dominated by the reduced Eu in solid solution with Y2 O3 . A sintering model with diffusion rate limited by yttrium interstitial transport and controlled by the incorporation of Eu2+ onto the cation sublattice was found to be in good agreement with experimental diffusivity data. 相似文献

Bi2 O3 was added to a nominal composition of Zn1.8 SiO3.8 (ZS) ceramics to decrease their sintering temperature. When the Bi2 O3 content was <8.0 mol%, a porous microstructure with Bi4 (SiO4 )3 and SiO2 second phases was developed in the specimen sintered at 885°C. However, when the Bi2 O3 content exceeded 8.0 mol%, a liquid phase, which formed during sintering at temperatures below 900°C, assisted the densification of the ZS ceramics. Good microwave dielectric properties of Q × f =12,600 GHz, ɛr =7.6, and τf =−22 ppm/°C were obtained from the specimen with 8.0 mol% Bi2 O3 sintered at 885°C for 2 h. 相似文献

Conventional ramp-and-hold sintering with a wide range of heating rates was conducted on submicrometer and nanocrystalline ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 powder compacts. Although rapid heating rates have been reported to produce high density/fine grain size products for many submicrometer and smaller starting powders, the application of this technique to ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 produced mixed results. In the case of submicrometer ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 , neither densification nor grain growth was affected by the heating rate used. In the case of nanocrystalline ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 , fast heating rates severely retarded densiflcation and had a minimal effect on grain growth. The large adverse effect of fast heating rates on the densification of the nanocrystalline powder was traced to a thermal gradient/differential densification effect. Microstructural evidence suggests that the rate of densification greatly exceeded the rate of heat transfer in this material; consequently, the sample interior was not able to densify before being geometrically constrained by a fully dense shell which formed at the sample exterior. This finding implies that rapid rate sintering will meet severe practical constraints in the manufacture of bulk nanocrystalline ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 specimens. 相似文献

MgAl2 O4 microwave dielectric ceramics were modified by Zn substitution for Mg, and their dielectric characteristics were evaluated, along with their structures. Dense (Mg1− x Zn x )Al2 O4 ceramics were obtained by sintering at 1550°–1650°C in air for 3 h, and the (Mg1− x Zn x )Al2 O4 solid solution was determined in the entire composition range. With Zn substitution for Mg, the dielectric constant ɛ of MgAl2 O4 just varied from 7.90 to 8.56, while the Q × f value had significantly improved up to a maximal value of 106 000 GHz at x =1.0. Moreover, the τf of MgAl2 O4 ceramics had declined from −73 to −63 ppm/°C. 相似文献

The formation of spherical pores and regions free of Y2 BaCuO5 (2-1-1) has been studied by melt processing Y1.6 Ba2.3 Cu3.3 O x: in two different atmospheres (air and oxygen). When the sintered Y1.6 Ba2.3 Cu3.3 O x specimens are melted at 1050°C, many spherical pores form in the melted specimens. During the subsequent cooling, the pores are filled by liquid flow and finally solidified to Y2 BaCuO5 -free regions. Melt processing in an oxygen atmosphere produces more pores and regions free of 2-1-1 than in air. Because peritectic melting of YBa2 Cu3 O7-y in an oxygen atmosphere produces more oxygen gas than that in air, the formation of the pores and Y2 BaCuO5 -free regions is suggested to be attributed to the oxygen evolution during the peritectic melting of YBa2 Cu3 O7−y 相似文献

The preparation of YBa2 Cu3 O7 - δ -based ceramics was made from a mixture of oxides taken in the molar proportions α:1:2 BaCuO2 :Y2 BaCuO5 :CuO(0.95 α 3). The densification of the ceramics is strongly dependent on the initial amount of BaCuO2 . The highest density is obtained when α= 1. All the ceramics present a superconducting transition. A sintering mechanism is proposed in which the densification is mainly governed by the appearance of a metastable BaCuO2 -based liquid at around 900°C. 相似文献

Li2 CO3 was added to Mg2 V2 O7 ceramics in order to reduce the sintering temperature to below 900°C. At temperatures below 900°C, a liquid phase was formed during sintering, which assisted the densification of the specimens. The addition of Li2 CO3 changed the crystal structure of Mg2 V2 O7 ceramics from triclinic to monoclinic. The 6.0 mol% Li2 CO3 -added Mg2 V2 O7 ceramic was well sintered at 800°C with a high density and good microwave dielectric properties of ɛ r =8.2, Q × f =70 621 GHz, and τf =−35.2 ppm/°C. Silver did not react with the 6.0 mol% Li2 CO3 -added Mg2 V2 O7 ceramic at 800°C. Therefore, this ceramic is a good candidate material in low-temperature co-fired ceramic multilayer devices. 相似文献

α-SiAlONs with equiaxed and elongated microstructures stabilized with Y2 O3 and Lu2 O3 were produced by hot pressing, and the phase structure and room- and high-temperature mechanical properties were assessed. Additional liquid added to the starting composition in the form of 5 wt% rare-earth monosilicate resulted in the formation of elongated microstructures and improvements in room-temperature strength and fracture toughness. The elongated grain growth was promoted by the additional liquid phase, which crystallized to form a secondary grain-boundary phase thought to be J ' (Re4 Si2– x Al x O7+ x N2– x ). For the equiaxed and the elongated samples, those sintered with Lu2 O3 showed higher hardness than the comparable Y2 O3 -sintered materials, and, at elevated temperature, the strength retention of the elongated Lu2 O3 SiAlON was much higher than that of the Y2 O3 sample, which was attributed to properties of the residual grain-boundary phase associated with the difference in the cationic radius of the stabilizing cation. 相似文献

The effect of B2 O3 –SiO2 liquid-phase additives on the sintering, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of LiNb0.63 Ti0.4625 O3 ceramics was investigated. It was found that the sintering temperature could be lowered easily, and the densification and dielectric properties of LiNb0.63 Ti0.4625 O3 ceramics could be greatly improved by adding a small amount of B2 O3 –SiO2 solution additives. No secondary phase was observed for the ceramics with B2 O3 –SiO2 additives. With the addition of 0.10 wt% B2 O3 –SiO2 , the ceramics sintered at 900°C showed favorable microwave dielectric properties with ɛr =71.7, Q × f =4950 GHz, and τf =−2.1 ppm/°C. The energy dispersive spectra analysis showed an excellent co-firing interfacial behavior between the LiNb0.63 Ti0.4625 O3 ceramic and the Ag electrode. It indicated that LiNb0.63 Ti0.4625 O3 ceramics with B2 O3 –SiO2 solution additives have a number of potential applications on passive integrated devices based on the low-temperature co-fired ceramics technology. 相似文献

The present study investigates the influence of the content of Y2 O3 –Al2 O3 sintering additive on the sintering behavior and microstructure of Si3 N4 ceramics. The Y2 O3 :Al2 O3 ratio was fixed at 5:2, and sintering was conducted at temperatures of 1300°–1900°C. Increased sintering-additive content enhanced densification via particle rearrangement; however, phase transformation and grain growth were unaffected by additive content. After phase transformation was almost complete, a substantial decrease in density was identified, which resulted from the impingement of rodlike β-Si3 N4 grain growth. Phase transformation and grain growth were concluded to occur through a solution–reprecipitation mechanism that was controlled by the interfacial reaction. 相似文献

The effect of Y2 O3 content on the flexure strength of melt-grown Al2 O3 –ZrO2 eutectics was studied in a temperature range of 25°–1427°C. The processing conditions were carefully controlled to obtain a constant microstructure independent of Y2 O3 content. The rod microstructure was made up of alternating bands of fine and coarse dispersions of irregular ZrO2 platelets oriented along the growth axis and embedded in the continuous Al2 O3 matrix. The highest flexure strength at ambient temperature was found in the material with 3 mol% Y2 O3 in relation to ZrO2 (Y2 O3 ). Higher Y2 O3 content did not substantially modify the mechanical response; however, materials with 0.5 mol% presented a significant degradation in the flexure strength because of the presence of large defects. They were nucleated at the Al2 O3 –ZrO2 interface during the martensitic transformation of ZrO2 on cooling and propagated into the Al2 O3 matrix driven by the tensile residual stresses generated by the transformation. The material with 3 mol% Y2 O3 retained 80% of the flexure strength at 1427°C, whereas the mechanical properties of the eutectic with 0.5 mol% Y2 O3 dropped rapidly with temperature as a result of extensive microcracking. 相似文献

Dielectric ceramics of Zr0.8 Sn0.2 TiO4 containing La2 O3 and ZnO as sintering aids were prepared and investigated for microstructure and microwave dielectric properties. Low-level doping with La2 O3 and ZnO (up to 0.30 wt%) is good for densification and dielectric properties. These additives do not affect the dielectric constant and the temperature coefficient. Dielectric losses increase significantly at additive levels higher than 0.15 wt%. The combined additives La2 O3 and ZnO act as grain growth enhancers. With 0.15 wt% additives, a ceramic having a dielectric constant, a quality factor, and a temperature coefficient of frequency at 4.2 GHz of 37.6, 12 800, and –2.9 ppm/°C, respectively, was obtained. The quality factor was considerably improved by prolonged sintering. 相似文献

The electrical properties of a series of CaCu3 Ti4 O12 ceramics prepared by the mixed oxide route and sintered at 1115°C in air for 1–24 h to produce different ceramic microstructures have been studied by Impedance Spectroscopy. As-fired ceramics are electrically heterogeneous, consisting of semiconducting grains and insulating grain boundaries, and can be modelled to a first approximation on an equivalent circuit based on two parallel RC elements connected in series. The grain boundary resistance and capacitance values vary as a function of sintering time and correlate with the ceramic microstructure based on the brickwork layer model for electroceramics. The large range of apparent high permittivity values for CaCu3 Ti4 O12 ceramics is therefore attributed to variations in ceramic microstructure. The grain-boundary resistance decreases by three to four orders of magnitude after heat treatment in N2 at 800°–1000°C but can be recovered to the original value by heat treatment in O2 at 1000°C. The bulk resistivity decreases from ∼80 to 30 Ω·cm with increasing sintering time but is independent of heat treatment in N2 or O2 at 800°–1000°C. The origin of the bulk semiconductivity is discussed and appears to be related to partial decomposition of CaCu3 Ti4 O12 at the high sintering temperatures required to form dense ceramics, and not to oxygen loss. 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 effect of Y2 O3 addition (0–5 wt%) on the densification and properties of reactive hot-pressed alumina (Al2 O3 )–boron nitride composites based on the reaction between aluminum borate (2Al2 O3 ·B2 O3 ) and aluminum nitride (AlN) was investigated. The densification process was very sensitive to the amount of Y2 O3 . Compared with a low relative density of 79.3 theoretical density (TD)% for material with no Y2 O3 addition, the material density reached 98.6 TD% with 0.25% Y2 O3 addition. High Y2 O3 additions resulted in the formation of a new phase Al5 Y3 O12 . The grain growth of the Al2 O3 matrix was promoted by the Y2 O3 addition. Owing to the high density and the small Al2 O3 particle size the sample with 0.25% Y2 O3 addition demonstrated the highest bending strength of 540 MPa. 相似文献
