The densification behavior of Si3 N4 containing MgO was studied in detail. It was concluded that MgO forms a liquid phase (most likely a magnesium silicate). This liquid wets and allows atomic transfer of Si3 N4 . Evidence of a second-phase material between the Si3 N4 grains was obtained through etching studies. Transformation of α- to β-Si3 N4 during hot-pressing is not necessary for densification. 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

TiN-coated Si3 N4 particles were prepared by depositing TiO2 on the Si3 N4 surfaces from Ti(O- i -C3 H7 )4 solution, the TiO2 being formed by controlled hydrolysis, then subsequently nitrided with NH3 gas. A homogeneous TiO2 coating was achieved by heating a Si3 N4 suspension containing 1.0 vol% H2 O with the precursor at 40°C. Nitridation successfully produced Si3 N4 particles coated with 10–20 nm TiN particles. Spark plasma sintering of these TiN/Si3 N4 particles at 1600°C yielded composite ceramics with a relative density of 96% at 25 vol% TiN and an electrical resistivity of 10−3 Ω·cm in compositions of 17.5 and 25 vol% TiN/Si3 N4 , making these ceramics suitable for electric discharge machining. 相似文献

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 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

Impurity phases in commercial hot-pressed Si3 N4 were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. In addition to the dominant, β-Si3 N4 phase, small amounts of Si2 N2 O, SiC, and WC were found. Significantly, a continuous grain-boundary phase was observed in the ∼ 25 high-angle boundaries examined. This film is ∼ 10 Å thick between, β-Si3 N4 grains and ∼ 30 Å thick between Si2 N2 O and β-Si3 N4 grains. 相似文献

Using a novel microwave-assisted process, nano-Ag-coated continuous porous SiC–Si3 N4 substrate was fabricated from a solution containing AgNO3 salts and ethylene glycol. The detailed microstructure of the fabricated substrate was investigated depending on the amount of AgNO3 salts in the starting solution and the microwave irradiation time. From a solution containing 0.4 g of AgNO3 for 60 s irradiation time, the Ag nanoparticles, ∼25 nm in diameter, were homogeneously coated on the continuous porous SiC–Si3 N4 matrix as well as on the surface of the Si3 N4 whiskers. However, the Ag nanoparticles (∼15 nm) deposited from a solution containing 0.6 g of AgNO3 for 60 s irradiation time showed maximum homogeneity and narrow size distribution. The components of Si, N, and Ag were homogeneously distributed on the deposited layer. The deposited Ag nanoparticles covered with a thin (∼2 nm), amorphous layer had nanocrystallinity and adhered well to the surface of the Si3 N4 whiskers. 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

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

The results of two-step oxidation experiments on chemically-vapor-deposited Si3 N4 and SiC at 1350°C show that a correlation exists between the presence of a Si2 N2 O interphase and the strong oxidation resistance of Si3 N4 . During normal oxidation, k p for SiC was 15 times higher than that for Si3 N4 , and the oxide scale on Si3 N4 was found by SEM and TEM to contain a prominent Si2 N2 O inner layer. However, when oxidized samples are annealed in Ar for 1.5 h at 1500°C and reoxidized at 1350°C as before, three things happen: the oxidation k p increases over 55-fold for Si3 N4 , and 3.5-fold for SiC; the Si3 N4 and SiC oxidize with nearly equal k p 's; and, most significant, the oxide scale on Si3 N4 is found to be lacking an inner Si2 N2 O layer. The implications of this correlation for the competing models of Si3 N4 oxidation are discussed. 相似文献

Details of the fabrication and microstructures of hot-pressed MoSi2 reinforced–Si3 N4 matrix composites were investigated as a function of MoSi2 phase size and volume fraction, and amount of MgO densification aid. No reactions were observed between MoSi2 and Si3 N4 at the fabrication temperature of 1750°C. Composite microstructures varied from particle–matrix to cermet morphologies with increasing MoSi2 phase content. The MgO densification aid was present only in the Si3 N4 phase. An amorphous glassy phase was observed at the MoSi2 –Si3 N4 phase boundaries, the extent of which decreased with decreased MgO level. No general microcracking was observed in the MoSi2 –Si3 N4 composites, despite the presence of a substantial thermal expansion mismatch between the MoSi2 and Si3 N4 phases. The critical MoSi2 particle diameter for microcracking was calculated to be 3 μm. MoSi2 particles as large as 20 μm resulted in no composite microcracking; this indicated that significant stress relief occurred in these composites, probably because of plastic deformation of the MoSi2 phase. 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 surface of Si3 N4 filler particles was modified by heat treatments before the onset of the precursor impregnation and pyrolysis process. The strength, Young's modulus, and hardness of Si3 N4filler /Si–C–Nmatrix particulate-reinforced composites (PRC) were improved up to 50%, 60%, and 71%, respectively, by the treatment. Si was formed at the surface of the Si3 N4 filler particles by the treatment, which induced a strong bonding between the filler and the Si–C–N matrix during pyrolysis by a carbothermal reaction, thus improving the properties of the PRC. 相似文献

Silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) nanocrystals were synthesized at about 250°C by a simple organic–inorganic reaction between CH3 SiCl3 and NaN3 . The yield of Si3 N4 is no <70 wt% based on the amount of precursor CH3 SiCl3 used in the reaction and TGA analysis. X-ray diffraction indicates the formation of a mixture of α- and β-Si3 N4 . Particles with size from 40 to 100 nm are dominant in the products examined by transmission electron microscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy gives an atomic ratio of Si:N around 0.75:1. The formation of nanocrystalline Si3 N4 during the organic–inorganic reaction goes through an intermediate product of NaSi2 N3 , which is important for understanding the reaction mechanism. 相似文献

A thorough analysis of a silicon nitride (Si3 N4 )-bonded SiC sidelining material from a Hall-Heroult electrolysis cell is reported. Phase composition before and after chemical degradation of the material is obtained by quantitative analysis using Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data and chemical analysis. The main degradation products as a result of the oxidation of Si3 N4 binder phase are Si2 ON2 in the upper part and Na2 SiO3 in the lower part of the sidelining. The microstructure of α-Si3 N4 (needle) and β-Si3 N4 (shell) as well as the degradation products Si2 ON2 (fiber) and Na2 SiO3 (flake) were revealed by electron microprobe analysis. Chemical reactions and degradation mechanisms are proposed based on the presented findings. The degradation in the lower part is more severe than that in the upper part because Na diffusion from the cathode enhances the oxidation of Si3 N4 . The degradation changes the physical properties of Si3 N4 -bonded SiC such as density and porosity. 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

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 microstructures and mechanical properties of continuous porous SiC–Si3 N4 composites fabricated by multi-pass extrusion were investigated, depending on the amount of Si powder added. Si powder with different weight percentages (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) was added to SiC powder to make raw mixture powders, with 6 wt% Y2 O3 –2 wt% Al2 O3 as sintering additives, carbon (10–15 μm) as a pore-forming agent, ethylene vinyl acetate as a binder, and stearic acid (CH3 (CH2 )16 COOH) as a lubricant. In the continuous porous SiC–Si3 N4 composites, Si3 N4 whiskers like the hairs of nostrils were frequently observed on the wall of the pores. In this study, the morphology of Si3 N4 whiskers was investigated with the nitridation condition and silicon addition content. In composites containing an addition of 10 wt% Si, a large number of Si3 N4 whiskers were found at the continuous pore regions. In the sample to which 15 wt% Si powder was added, a maximum value of about 101 MPa bending strength and 57.5% relative density were obtained. 相似文献

The development of microstructure in hot-pressed Sia N4 was studiehd for a typical Si3 N4 powder with and without BeSiN2 as a densification aid. The effect of hot-pressing temperature on density, α- to β-Si3 N4 conversion and specific surface area showed that BeSiN2 appears to increase the mobility of the system by enhancing densification, α- to β-Si3 N4 transformation, and grain growth at temperatures between 1450° and 1800°. These processes appear to occur in the presence of a liquid phase. 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
