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

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

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

Elongated β'-SiAlON grains grown from several finegrained Ym/3 Si12(m+n) Alm+n On N16–r compositions with α-Si3 N4 , AlN, Al2 O3 , and Y2 O3 starting materials have been examined. These grains have large aspect ratios and are oriented along the [0001] axis. TEM structural and chemical analysis suggests that they are nucleated from various seed crystals, which can be α-Si3 N4 , β-Si3 N4 , or other β'-SiAlON. The β'-SiAlON seed and the initial precipitation on β-Si3 N4 show a higher content of Al and O, indicating that a large transient supersaturation of Al and O in the liquid is instrumental for β'-SiAlON formation, whereas subsequent growth proceeds under a much lower driving force. The misfit between phases is accommodated by interfacial dislocations ( c -type and a -type). Fully grown β'-SiAlON grains usually contain several variants independently nucleated from the same seed. In particular, the two alternative α/β phase-matching possibilities result in two [0001] growth habits separated by a twin boundary. 相似文献

Silicon nitride ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at temperatures of 1450°–1600°C for 3–12 min, using α-Si3 N4 powders as raw materials and MgSiN2 as sintering additives. Almost full density of the sample was achieved after sintering at 1450°C for 6 min, while there was about 80 wt%α-Si3 N4 phase left in the sintered material. α-Si3 N4 was completely transformed to β-Si3 N4 after sintering at 1500°C for 12 min. The thermal conductivity of sintered materials increased with increasing sintering temperature or holding time. Thermal conductivity of 100 W·(m·K)−1 was achieved after sintering at 1600°C for 12 min. The results imply that SPS is an effective and fast method to fabricate β-Si3 N4 ceramics with high thermal conductivity when appropriate additives are used. 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

Nanocrystalline α-Si3 N4 powders have been prepared with a yield of 93% by the reaction of Mg2 Si with NH4 Cl in the temperature range of 450° to 600°C in an autoclave. X-ray diffraction patterns of the products can be indexed as the α-Si3 N4 with the lattice constants a = 7.770 and c = 5.627 Å. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicates that the composition of the α-Si3 N4 samples has a Si:N ratio of 0.756. Transmission electron microscopy images show that the α-Si3 N4 crystallites prepared at 450°, 500°, and 550°C are particles of about 20, 40, and 70 nm in average, respectively. 相似文献

α-Si3 N4 core structures within β-Si3 N4 grains have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. The grains were dispersed in an oxynitride glass which was previously melted at 1600°C. The cores were topotactically related to the as-grown β-Si3 N4 crystallites and are related to epitactical nucleation during heat treatment as the most probable mechanism. 相似文献

The microstructure, crystal structure, and chemical composition of reaction-sintered Si3 N4 containing iron were studied using conventional and scanning transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the grains of β -Si3 N4 were large and blocklike with well-developed facets, a series of voids along some grain boundaries, a subgrain of iron silicide near the periphery, and penetration of iron silicide into the three-grain junctions and grain boundaries. At some distance from each β -Si3 N4 grain was a region of small α-Si3 N4 grains, with no evidence of iron silicide. Between this region and the β -Si3 N4 grain was a zone containing both α- and β -Si3 N4 and iron silicide. These observations suggest that the large β -Si3 N4 grains grow in liquid iron silicide, that the smaller α-Si3 N4 grains grow from the vapor, and that the latter are converted to the β form by solution in, and reprecipitation from, liquid iron silicide. 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

A microstructure that consisted of uniformly distributed, elongated β-Si3 N4 grains, equiaxed β-SiC grains, and an amorphous grain-boundary phase was developed by using β-SiC and alpha-Si3 N4 powders. By hot pressing, elongated β-Si3 N4 grains were grown via alpha right arrow β phase transformation and equiaxed β-SiC grains were formed because of inhibited grain growth. The strength and fracture toughness of SiC have been improved by adding Si3 N4 particles, because of the reduced defect size and the enhanced bridging and crack deflection by the elongated β-Si3 N4 grains. Typical flexural-strength and fracture-toughness values of SiC-35-wt%-Si3 N4 composites were 1020 MPa and 5.1 MPam1/2 , respectively. 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

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

The influence of phase formation on the dielectric properties of silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) ceramics, which were produced by pressureless sintering with additives in MgO–Al2 O3 –SiO2 system, was investigated. It seems that the difference in the dielectric properties of Si3 N4 ceramics sintered at different temperatures was mainly due to the difference of the relative content of α-Si3 N4 , β-Si3 N4 , and the intermediate product (Si2 N2 O) in the samples. Compared with α-Si3 N4 and Si2 N2 O, β-Si3 N4 is believed to be a major factor influencing the dielectric constant. The high-dielectric constant of β-Si3 N4 could be attributed to the ionic relaxation polarization. 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

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

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 abnormal grain growth of β-Si3 N4 was observed in a 70% Si3 N4 –30% barium aluminum silicate (70%-Si3 N4 –30%-BAS) self-reinforced composite that was pressureless-sintered at 1930°C; Si3 N4 starting powders with a wide particle-size distribution were used. The addition of coarse Si3 N4 powder encouraged the abnormal growth of β-Si3 N4 grains, which allowed microstructural modification through control of the content and size distribution of β-Si3 N4 nuclei. The mechanical response of different microstructures was characterized in terms of flexural strength, as well as indentation fracture resistance, at room temperature. The presence of even a small amount of abnormally grown β-Si3 N4 grains improved the fracture toughness and minimized the variability in flexural strength. 相似文献

The α→β reverse transformation in SiC is observed in Si3 N4 -particulate-reinforced-SiC composites made from as-received α-SiC and α-Si3 N4 powders. However, the transformation does not occur to any great extent in composites made from deoxidized Si3 N4 -SiC powder compacts. Detailed transmission electron microscopy shows that most interfaces are covered with an ∼10 Å thick amorphous intergranular film in the composites made from as-received powders, whereas most interfaces are free of such films in the composites made from deoxidized powder compacts. These observations indicate that the α→β reverse transformation in SiC is encouraged by a nitrogen-containing liquid phase that occurs at high temperature in the composites made from the as-received powders. A mechanism is proposed to account for the experimental observations. 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
