The high-temperature flexural strength of hot-pressed silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) and Si3 N4 -whisker-reinforced Si3 N4 -matrix composites has been measured at a crosshead speed of 1.27 mm/min and temperatures up to 1400°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Load–displacement curves for whisker-reinforced composites showed nonelastic fracture behavior at 1400°C. In contrast, such behavior was not observed for monolithic Si3 N4 . Microstructures of both materials have been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that grain-boundary sliding could be responsible for strength degradation in both monolithic Si3 N4 and its whisker composites. The origin of the nonelastic failure behavior of Si3 N4 -whisker composite at 1400°C was not positively identified but several possibilities are discussed. 相似文献

The nitrogen solubility in the SiO2 -rich liquid in the metastable binary SiO2 -Si3 N4 system has been determined by analytical TEM to be 1%–4% of N/(O + N) at 1973–2223 K. Analysis of the near edge structure of the electron energy loss peak indicates that nitrogen is incorporated into the silicate network rather than being present as molecular N2 . A regular solution model with a positive enthalpy of mixing for the liquid was used to match the data for the metastable solubility of N in the presence of crystalline Si3 N4 and to adjust the computed phase diagram. The solubility of Si3 N4 in fused SiO2 is far less than reported in liquid silicates also containing Al, Mg, and/or Y. Apparently, these cations act as modifiers that break anion bridges in the silicate network and, thereby, allow further incorporation of Si3 N4 without prohibitive amounts of network cross-linking. Finally, indications emerged regarding the diffuse nature of the Si3 N4 -SiO2 interface that leads to amorphous regions of higher N content. 相似文献

Sintering kinetics of the system Si3 N4-Y2O3 -Al2 O3 were determined from measurements of the linear shrinkage of pressed disks sintered isothermally at 1500° to 1700°C. Amorphous and crystalline Si3 N4 were studied with additions of 4 to 17 wt% Y2 O3 and 4 wt% A12 O3 . Sintering occurs by a liquid-phase mechanism in which the kinetics exhibit the three stages predicted by Kingery's model. However, the rates during the second stage of the process are higher for all compositions than predicted by the model. X-ray data show the presence of several transient phases which, with sufficient heating, disappear leaving mixtures of β ' -Si3 N4 and glass or β '-Si3 N4 , α '-Si3 N4 , and glass. The compositions and amounts of the residual glassy phases are estimated. 相似文献

The oxidation behaviors of monolithic Si3 N4 and nanocomposite Si3 N4 -SiC with Yb2 O3 as a sintering aid were investigated. The specimens were exposed to air at temperatures between 1200° and 1500°C for up to 200 h. Parabolic weight gains with respect to exposure time were observed for both specimens. The oxidation products formed on the surface also were similar, i.e., a mixture of crystalline Yb2 Si2 O7 and SiO2 (cristobalite). However, strength retention after oxidation was much higher for the nanocomposite Si3 N4 -SiC compared to the monolithic Si3 N4 . The SiC particles of the nanocomposite at the grain boundary were effective in suppressing the migration of Yb3+ ions from the bulk grain-boundary region to the surface during the oxidation process. As a result, depletion of yttribium ions, which led to the formation of a damaged zone beneath the oxide layer, was prevented. 相似文献

Hot isostatically pressed silicon nitride was produced by densifying Si3 N4 powder compacts and reaction-bonded Si3 N4 (RBSN) parts with yttria as a sintering additive. The microstructure was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and density measurements. The influence of the microstructure on fracture strength, creep, and oxidation behavior was investigated. It is assumed that the higher amount of oxygen in the Si3 N4 starting powder compared with the RBSN starting material leads to an increased amount of liquid phase during densification. This results in grain growth and in a larger amount of grain boundary phase in the hot isostatically pressed material. Compared with the hot isostatically pressed RBSN samples therefore, strength decreases whereas the creep rate and the weight gain during oxidation increase. 相似文献

The heat treatment of silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) ceramics with additions of 8, 12, and 16 wt% Yb2 O3 was carried out at different temperatures and the evolution of grain boundary (GB) phase was investigated systematically by X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as scanning electron and transmission electron microscopic analyses. XRD results reveal that the extent and the ease of GB crystallization increase with increasing the Yb2 O3 content, and that high heat-treatment temperatures in general favor crystallization of the quaternary compounds such as the Yb4 Si2 O7 N2 phase. These results provide an insight into the GB phase evolution in the Yb-system Si3 N4 ceramics subjected to a postsintering heat treatment. 相似文献

The phase relations in the Si3 N4 -rich portion of the Si3 N4 –AlN–Y2 O3 rystem were investigated using hot-pressed bodies. The one-phase fields of β3 and α, the twophase fields of β+α, β+M (M=melilite), and α+M, and the three-phase fields of β+α+M were observed in the Si3 N4 -rich portion. The α- and β-sialons are not two different compounds but an allotropic transformation phase of the Si–Al–O–N system, and an α solid solution expands and stabilizes with increasing Y2 O3 content. Therefore, the formulas of the two sialons should be the same. 相似文献

The effect of aluminum and yttrium nitrate additives on the densification of monolithic Si3 N4 and a Si3 N4 /SiC composite by pressureless sintering was compared with that of oxide additives. The surfaces of Si3 N4 particles milled with aluminum and yttrium nitrates, which were added as methanol solutions, were coated with a different layer containing Al and Y from that of Si3 N4 particles milled with oxide additives. Monolithic Si3 N4 could be sintered to 94% of theoretical density (TD) at 1500°C with nitrate additives. The sintering temperature was about 100°C lower than the case with oxide additives. After pressureless sintering at 1750°C for 2 h in N2 , the bulk density of a Si3 N4 /20 wt% SiC composite reached 95% TD with nitrate additives. 相似文献

Subsolidus phase relations were established in the system Si3 N4 -SiO2 -Y2 O3 . Four ternary compounds were confirmed, with compositions of Y4 Si2 O7 N2 , Y2 Si3 O3 N4 , YSiO2 N, and Y10 (SiO4 )6 N2 . The eutectic in the triangle Si3 N4 -Y2 Si2 O7 -Y10 (SiO4 )6 N2 melts at 1500°C and that in the triangle Si2 N2 O-SiO2 -Y2 Si2 O7 at 1550°C. The eutectic temperature of the Si3 N4 -Y2 Si2 O7 join was ∼ 1520°C. 相似文献

This study shows that the amount ofAl2 O3 needed to form high density Si3 N4 -15Y2 -O3 samples can be reduced by using high surface area Si3 N4 powder and high N2 overpressure (high sintering temperatures) during the sintering process. The reduction in AI2 O3 content results in improved oxidation resistance of the sintered samples. 相似文献

The rates of densification and phase transformation undergone by α-Si3 N4 during hot-pressing in the presence of Y2 O3 , Y2 O3 −2SiO2 , and Li2 0−2Si02 as additives were studied. Although these systems behave less simply than MgO-doped Si3 N4 , the data can be interpreted during the early stages of hot-pressing as resulting from a solution-diffusion-reprecipitation mechanism, where the diffusion step is rate controlling and where the reprecipitation step invariably results in the formation of the β-Si3 N4 phase. 相似文献

We report here the study on tribological behavior of α-Sialon in aqueous medium. The results derived from a wide range of test conditions are briefly discussed. A reduction in friction coefficient from 0.7 to 0.03 and a decrease in wear rate by two orders of magnitude were achieved under low load (9.8 N) and high speed (>0.54 m/s) conditions. The tribological behavior of α-Sialon/Si3 N4 ceramics was then compared with Si3 N4 /Si3 N4 tribopairs. 相似文献

Si3 N4 /MoSi2 and Si3 N4 /WSi2 composites were prepared by reaction-bonding processes using as starting materials powder mixtures of Si-Mo and Si-W, respectively. A presintering step in an At-base atmosphere was used before nitriding for the formation of MoSi2 and WSi2 ; the nitridation in a N2 -base atmosphere was followed after presintering with the total stepwise cycle of 1350°C × 20 h +1400°C × 20 h +1450°C × 2 h. The final phases obtained in the two different composites were Si3 N4 and MoSi2 or WSi2 ; no free elemental Si and Mo or W were detected by X-ray diffraction. 相似文献

The compressive creep behavior and oxidation resistance of an Si3 N4 /Y2 Si2 O7 material (0.85Si3 N4 +0.10SiO2 +0.05Y2 O3 ) were determined at 1400°C. Creep re sistance was superior to that of other Si3 N4 materials and was significantly in creased by a preoxidation treatment (1600°C /120 h). An apparent parabolic rate constant of 4.2 × 10−11 kg2 ·m-4 ·s−1 indicates excellent oxidation resistance. 相似文献

This paper deals with the densification and phase transformation during pressureless sintering of Si3 N4 with LiYO2 as the sintering additive. The dilatometric shrinkage data show that the first Li2 O- rich liquid forms as low as 1250°C, resulting in a significant reduction of sintering temperature. On sintering at 1500°C the bulk density increases to more than 90% of the theoretical density with only minor phase transformation from α-Si3 N4 to β-Si3 N4 taking place. At 1600°C the secondary phase has been completely converted into a glassy phase and total conversion of α-Si3 N4 to β-Si3 N4 takes place. The grain growth is anisotropic, leading to a microstructure which has potential for enhanced fracture toughness. Li2 O evaporates during sintering. Thus, the liquid phase is transient and the final material might have promising mechanical properties as well as promising high-temperature properties despite the low sintering temperature. The results show that the Li2 O−Y2 O3 system can provide very effective low-temperature sintering additives for silicon nitride. 相似文献
