A reaction-bonding process, which offers low sintering shrinkage and is a low-cost process, was applied to fabricate Y–α-SiAlON ceramics. The green compacts composed of Si, Y2 O3 , Al2 O3 , and AlN were nitrided and subsequently postsintered. Dense single-phase Y–α-SiAlON with elongated grain morphology could be achieved in the specimen postsintered at 1900°C. The material exhibited high hardness (1850 HV10) and high fracture toughness (5.1 MPa·m1/2 ). 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

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

Using AlN and RE2 O3 (RE = Y, Yb) as sintering additives, two different SiC ceramics with high strength at 1500°C were fabricated by hot-pressing and subsequent annealing under pressure. The ceramics had a self-reinforced microstructure consisting of elongated α-SiC grains and a grain-boundary glassy phase. High-temperature strength up to 1600°C was measured and compared with that of the SiC ceramics fabricated with AlN and Er2 O3 . SiC ceramics with AlN and Y2 O3 showed the best strength (∼630 MPa) at 1500°C, while SiC ceramics with AlN and Er2 O3 the best strength (∼550 MPa) at 1600°C. 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

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

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

AlN–AlN polytypoid composite materials were prepared in situ using pressureless sintering of AlN–Al2 O3 mixtures (3.7–16.6 mol% Al2 O3 ) using Y2 O3 (1.4–1.5 wt%) as a sintering additive. Materials fired at 1950°C consisted of elongated grains of AlN polytypoids embedded in equiaxed AlN grains. The Al2 O3 content in the polytypoids varied systematically with the overall Al2 O3 content, but equilibrium phase composition was not established because of slow nucleation rate and rapid grain growth of the polytypoid grains. The polytypoids, 24 H and 39 R , previously not reported, were identified using HRTEM. Solid solution of Y2 O3 in the polytypoids was demonstrated, and Y2 O3 was shown to influence the stability of the AlN polytypoids. The present phase observations were summarized in a phase diagram for a binary section in the ternary system AlN–Al2 O3 –Y2 O3 parallel to the AlN–Al2 O3 join. Fracture toughness estimated from indentation measurements gave no evidence for a strengthening mechanism due to the elongated polytypoids. 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

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

Fine β-Si3 N4 powders with or without the addition of 5 wt% of large β-Si3 N4 particles (seeds) were gas-pressure sintered at 1900°C for 4 h using Y2 O3 and Al2 O3 as sintering aids. The microstructures were examined on polished and plasmaetched surfaces. These materials had a microstructure of in situ composites with similar small matrix grains and different elongated grains. The elongated grains in the materials with seeds had a larger diameter and a smaller aspect ratio than those in the materials without seeds. A core/rim structure was observed in the elongated grains; the core was pure β-Si3 N4 and the rim was β-SiAION. These results show that the large β-Si3 N4 particles acted as seeds for abnormal grain growth and the rim was formed by precipitation from the liquid containing aluminum. 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

A process based on liquid-phase sintering and subsequent annealing for grain growth is presented to obtain in situ -toughened SiC-30 wt% TiC composites. Its microstructures consist of uniformly distributed elongated α-SiC grains, matrixlike TiC grains, and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) as a grain boundary phase. The composites were fabricated from β-SiC and TiC powders with the liquid forming additives of A12 O3 and Y2 O3 by hot pressing. During the subsequent heat treatment, the β→α phase transformation of SiC led to the in situ growth of elongated α-SiC grains. The fracture toughness of the SiC-30 wt% TiC composites after 6-h annealing was 6.9 MPa-m1/2 , approximately 60% higher than that of as-hot-pressed composites (4.4 MPa-m1/2 ). Bridging and crack deflection by the elongated α-SiC grains appear to account for the increased toughness of this new class of composites. 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

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

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

Y-PSZ ceramics with 5 wt% Al2 O3 were synthesized by a sol–gel route. Experimental results show that powders of metastable tetragonal zirconia with 2.7 mol% Y2 O3 and 5 wt% Al2 O3 can be fabricated by decomposing the dry gel powder at 500°C. Materials sintered in an air atmosphere at 1500°C for 3 have high density (5.685 g/cm3 ), high content of metastable tetragonal zirconia (>96%), and high fracture toughness (8.67 MPa.m1/2 ). Compared with the Y-PSZ ceramics, significant toughening was achieved by adding 5 wt% Al2 O3 . 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

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

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
