Cerium-doped α-SiAlON (M x Si12−( m + n ) Al m + n O n N16– n ) materials have been prepared by gas-pressure sintering and post-hot-isostatic-press (HIP) annealing, using four powder mixtures of α-Si3 N4 , AlN, and either (i) CeO2 , (ii) CeO2 + Y-α-SiAlON seed, (iii) CeO2 + Y2 O3 , or (iv) CeO2 + CaO. Cerium-containing CeAl(Si6– z Al z )(N10– z O z ) (JEM) phase, rather than Ce-α-SiAlON phase, forms in the sample with only CeO2 , whereas a single-phase α-SiAlON generates in samples with dual doping (CeO2 + Y2 O3 and CeO2 + CaO). On ultraviolet-light excitation, JEM gives one broad emission band with maximum at 465 nm and a shoulder at 498 nm; α-SiAlON shows an intense and broad emission band that peaks at 500 nm. The unusual long-wavelength emissions in JEM and α-SiAlON are due to increases in the nephelauxetic effect and the ligand-field splitting of the 5 d band, because the coordination of Ce3+ in JEM and α-SiAlON is nitrogen enriched. 相似文献

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

By using α-Si3 N4 and β-Si3 N4 starting powders with similar particle size and distribution, the effect of α-β (β') phase transition on densification and microstructure is investigated during the liquid-phase sintering of 82Si3 N4 ·9Al2 O3 ·9Y2 O3 (wt%) and 80Si3 N4 ·13Al2 O3 ·5AIN·5AIN·2Y2 O3 . When α-Si3 N4 powder is used, the grains become elongated, apparently hindering the densification process. Hence, the phase transition does not enhance the densification. 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

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

Ultrafine β-SiC powders mixed with 7 wt% Al2 O3, 2 wt% Y2 O3 , and 1.785 wt% CaCO3 were hot-pressed and subsequently annealed in either the absence or the presence of applied pressure. Because the β-SiC to α-SiC phase transformation is dependent on annealing conditions, the novel processing technique of annealing under pressure can control this phase transformation, and, hence, the microstructures and mechanical properties of fine-grained liquid-phase-sintered SiC ceramics. In comparison to annealing without pressure, the application of pressure during annealing greatly suppressed the phase transformation from β-SiC to α-SiC. Materials annealed with pressure exhibited a fine microstructure with equiaxed grains when the phase transformation from β-SiC to α-SiC was <30 vol%, whereas materials annealed without pressure developed microstructures with elongated grains when phase transformation was >30 vol%. These results suggested that the precise control of phase transformation in SiC ceramics and their mechanical properties could be achieved through annealing with or without pressure. 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

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 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

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

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

Morphology, composition, and growth defects of α'-SiAION have been studied in a fine-grained material with an overall composition Y0.33 Si10 Al2 O1 N15 prepared from α-Si3 N4 , AlN, Al2 O3 , and Y2 O3 powders. TEM analysis has shown that fully grown α'-SiAloN grains always contain an α-Si3 N4 core, implicating heterogeneous nucleation operating in the present system. The growth mode is epitaxial, despite the composition and lattice parameter difference between α-Si3 N4 and α'-SiAlON. The inversion boundary that separates two domains in the seed crystal is seen to continue in the grown α'-SiAION. Lacking a special growth habit, the growth typically proceeds from more than one site on the seed crystal, and the different growth fronts impinge on each other to give an equiaxed appearance of α'-SiAlON. Misfit dislocations on the α/α'interface are identified as [0001] type ( b = 5.62 Å) and 1/3 [1 2 10] type ( b = 7.75 Å). These nucleation and growth characteristics dictate that microstructural control of α'-SiAlON must rest on the size distribution of the starting α-Si3 N4 powder. 相似文献

Two calcium-doped α-SiAlON compositions (Ca0.6 Si10.2 Al1.8− O0.6 N15.4 and Ca1.8 Si6.6 Al5.4 O1.8 N14.2 ) were prepared by hot pressing at 1600° and 1500°C, respectively, for complete phase transformation from α-Si3 N4 to α-SiAlON. Both samples were subsequently fired at different temperatures for different periods of time to study the grain growth of α-SiAlON. Elongated α-SiAlON grains were developed in both samples at high temperatures. The kinetics of grain growth was investigated based on the variations in length and width of the α-SiAlON grains under different sintering conditions. Different growth rates were found between the length and width directions of the α-SiAlON crystals, resulting in anisotropic grain growth in the microstructural development. 相似文献

Tantalum (V) oxide (Ta2 O5 ) has potential applications as part of an environmental barrier coating system for Si3 N4 -based turbine components. However, at elevated temperatures, Ta2 O5 undergoes a phase transformation from the orthorhombic (β) phase to the tetragonal phase (α), which is undesirable because of the associated volume change. The purpose of the present work was to study the effect of alumina additions (0–5 wt%) on the β to α transformation temperature, and associated modifications to the Ta2 O5 microstructure. Sintered microstructures were characterized using SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and XRD (X-ray diffraction) was used to identify the phases present at room temperature. It was found that for undoped Ta2 O5 , transformation of the low-temperature β-phase begins at ∼1300°C, and leads to extensive microcracking of the sintered sample. For samples containing alumina, an increase in the transformation temperature was observed. The solubility limit of alumina in Ta2 O5 was between 1 and 3 wt%; for samples in which this was exceeded, the AlTaO4 second and phase particles were seen to be highly effective at inhibiting grain growth. 相似文献

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

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

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

Composites of β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 and tetragonal ZrO2 were fabricated by a reductive atmosphere sintering of mixed powders of CeO2 , ZrO2 (2 mol% Y2 O3 ), and Al2 O3 . The composites had microstructures composed of elongated grains of β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 in a Y-TZP matrix. The β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 decomposed to α-Al2 O3 and CeO2 by annealing at 1500°C for 1 h in oxygen. The elongated single grain of β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 divided into several grains of α-Al2 O3 and ZrO2 doped with Y2 O3 and CeO2 . High-temperature bending strength of the oxygen-annealed α-Al2 O3 composite was comparable to the β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 composite before annealing. 相似文献

The effects of seed particles and shear rate on the size and shape of α-Al2 O3 particles synthesized in glycothermal conditions are described. It is proposed that seed particles provide a low-energy, epitaxial surface in solution to lower the overall surface energy contribution to the nucleation barrier, thus increasing nucleation frequency and subsequently reducing the particle size of hexagonal α-Al2 O3 platelets or polyhedra, depending on synthesis conditions, in 1,4-butanediol solution. Seeds have a significant effect on the size of hexagonal α-Al2 O3 platelets in samples with high seed concentration. The particle size of α-Al2 O3 platelets decreases from 3 to 4 µm to 100 to 200 nm by increasing the number concentration of seeds. In the case of α-Fe2 O3 seeding, the effect of seeding on the size of α-Al2 O3 particles closely resembles the effects obtained with α-Al2 O3 seeding. Regardless of seed concentration, high stirring rate promotes the formation of hexagonal platelets with high aspect ratio, whereas medium and low stirring rates promote the formation of elongated platelets and polyhedra with 14 faces, respectively. 相似文献

The mechanical behavior of mixed α'/β'-SiAlON materials was studied at elevated temperatures. Two different α'/β'-SiAlON compositions along the Si3 N4 -Y2 O3 9AlN composition line in the Si3 N4 -Al2 O3 AlN-YN3AlN plane (α'-SiAlON plane) were prepared using three different raw-material mixtures. Six different materials were obtained with significantly lower values in α'-SiAlON than expected. The high-temperature properties of the materials studied were influenced strongly by the chemical composition (α' content and grain-boundary phase) of the SiAlONs. A high content of α'-SiAlON was beneficial in terms of creep behavior of the materials. The same materials, however, were characterized by a considerably degradated fracture behavior at elevated temperatures in air because of a crack-growth process enhanced by the poor oxidation resistance of these materials. It was concluded that, despite some superior features of the materials studied, a long-term application of mixed α'/β'-SiAlON materials at 1400°C in air is problematical. A combination of all properties required for such applications was not observed. For that reason, it is suggested that the real high-temperature potential of these materials in air should be limited to temperatures <1300°C. 相似文献
