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

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

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

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

A carbothermal reaction of silica–phenol resin hybrid gels prepared from a two-step sol–gel process was conducted in atmospheric nitrogen. The gels were first pyrolyzed into homogeneous silica–carbon mixtures during heating and subsequently underwent a carbothermal reaction at higher temperatures. Using a gel-derived precursor with a C/SiO2 molar ratio higher than 3.0, Si3 N4 /SiC nanocomposite powders were produced at 1500°–1550°C, above the Si3 N4 –SiC boundary temperature. The predominant phase was Si3 N4 at 1500°C, and SiC at 1550°C. The Si3 N4 and SiC phase contents were adjustable by varying the temperature in this narrow range. The phase contents could also be adjusted by changing the starting carbon contents, or by its combination with varying reaction temperature. A two-stage process, i.e., a reaction first at 1550°C and then at 1500°C, offered another means of simple and effective control of the phase composition: the Si3 N4 and SiC contents varied almost linearly with the variation of the holding time at 1550°C. The SiC was nanosized (∼13 nm, Scherrer method) formed via a solid–gas reaction, while the Si3 N4 has two morphologies: elongated microsized crystals and nanosized crystallites, with the former crystallized via a gaseous reaction, and the latter formed via a solid–gas reaction. The addition of a Si3 N4 powder as a seed to the starting gel effectively reduced the size of the Si3 N4 produced. 相似文献

Mineral oil lubricated rolling and sliding wear of SiC whisker (SiCw ) reinforced Si3 N4 composite and monolithic Si3 N4 prepared identically against M2 tool steel were investigated using a cylinder-on-cylinder apparatus. Wear of this Si3 N4 was higher than that of the composite. Wear of the steel against Si3 N4 was also higher than that against the composite. Relatively larger scale microfracture occurred in the Si3 N4 than in the composite; more pullout and microchipping of carbide particles were observed in the steel against Si3 N4 than against the composite. Polishing of the worn surfaces of the steel occurred in both sliding and rolling tests. This was attributed to fine, hard wear debris circulating in the contact area. Spalling was observed in the steel sliding against Si3 N4 but not in the steel sliding against the composite. 相似文献

The effects of microstructure and residual stress on the mechanical properties of Si3 N4 -based three-layer composite materials were investigated. The microstructure of each layer was controlled by the addition of two differently sized silicon carbides: fine SiC nanoparticles (∼200 nm) or relatively large SiC platelets (∼20 µm). When the SiC nanoparticles were added, the average grain size of Si3 N4 was reduced because of the inhibition of grain growth by the particles. On the other hand, when the SiC platelets were added, the microstructure of Si3 N4 was not much changed because of the large size of the platelets. Three-layer composites were fabricated by placing the Si3 N4 /SiC-nanoparticle layers on the surface of the Si3 N4 /SiC-platelet layer. The residual stress was controlled by varying the amount of SiC added. The mechanical properties of three-layer composites with various combinations of microstructure and residual stress level were investigated. 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

Si3 N4 /SiC composite materials have been fabricated by reaction-sintering and postsintering steps. The green body containing Si metal and SiC particles was reaction-sintered at 1370°C in a flowing N2 /H2 gas mixture. The initial reaction product was dominated by alpha-Si3 N4 . However, as the reaction processed there was a gradual increase in the proportion of β-Si3 N4 . The reaction-bonded composite consisting of alpha-Si3 N4 , β-Si3 N4 , and SiC was heat-treated again at 2000°C for 150 min under 7-MPa N2 gas pressure. The addition of SiC enhanced the reaction-sintering process and resulted in a fine microstructure, which in turn improved fracture strength to as high as 1220 MPa. The high value in flexural strength is attributed to the formation of uniformly elongated β-Si3 N4 grains as well as small size of the grains (length = 2 μm, thickness = 0.5 μm). The reaction mechanism of the reaction sintering and the mechanical properties of the composite are discussed in terms of the development of microstructures. 相似文献

Combustion synthesis (CS) of α-silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) powders was accomplished at a nitrogen pressure lower than 3 MPa. The combination of mechanical activation and chemical stimulation was effective in enhancing the reactivity of Si powder reactants, which was responsible for the reduction of the minimum nitrogen pressure normally required for the CS of Si3 N4 . This breakthrough indicates that nitriding combustion of silicon in pressurized nitrogen could be promoted by activating the solid reactants instead of by increasing the nitrogen pressure. The phase content of α-Si3 N4 in the as-synthesized product is over 90 wt%. Scanning electronic microscopy observation showed that the combustion-synthesized Si3 N4 powders are submicron-sized particles with spherical morphologies. 相似文献

[(Trimethylsilyl)amino]titanium trichloride, (CH3 )3 -SiNHTiClj, was isolated as a red-orange crystalline solid in 58% yield from the reaction of TiCl4 with [(CH3 )3 Si]2 NH in 1:1 molar ratio in dichloromethane at —78°C. Pyrolysis of (CH3 )3 SiNHTiCl3 at 600°C furnished titanium nitride. This precursor is suitable for the preparation of composites and was employed to prepare Si3 N4 -TiN and Ti-TiN powders by adding Si3 N4 particles or titanium powders to a solution of (CH3 ), SiNHTiCl3 in dichloromethane, drying and pyrolyzing the resulting solid. This precursor also has been used as a binder to prepare Si3 N4 -TiN and Ti-TiN bodies. High-resolution transmission electron microscopic studies of the Si3 N4 -TiN composite showed that titanium nitride is concentrated on the surface of the Si3 N4 particles. 相似文献

The effect of Si3 N4 , Ta5 Si3 , and TaSi2 additions on the oxidation behavior of ZrB2 was characterized at 1200°–1500°C and compared with both ZrB2 and ZrB2 /SiC. Significantly improved oxidation resistance of all Si-containing compositions relative to ZrB2 was a result of the formation of a protective layer of borosilicate glass during exposure to the oxidizing environment. Oxidation resistance of the Si3 N4 -modified ceramics increased with increasing Si3 N4 content and was further improved by the addition of Cr and Ta diborides. Chromium and tantalum oxides induced phase separation in the borosilicate glass, which lead to an increase in liquidus temperature and viscosity and to a decrease in oxygen diffusivity and of boria evaporation from the glass. All tantalum silicide-containing compositions demonstrated phase separation in the borosilicate glass and higher oxidation resistance than pure ZrB2 , with the effect increasing with temperature. The most oxidation-resistant ceramics contained 15 vol% Ta5 Si3 , 30 vol% TaSi2 , 35 vol% Si3 N4 , or 20 vol% Si3 N4 with 10 mol% CrB2 . These materials exceeded the oxidation resistance of the ZrB2 /SiC ceramics below 1300°–1400°C. However, the ZrB2 /SiC ceramics showed slightly superior oxidation resistance at 1500°C. 相似文献

The tribological behavior of Mo5 Si3 -particle-reinforced silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) composites was investigated by pin-on-plate wear testing under dry conditions. The friction coefficient of the Mo5 Si3 –Si3 N4 composites and Si3 N4 essentially decreased slowly with the sliding distance, but showed sudden increase for several times during the wear testing. The average friction coefficient of the Si3 N4 decreased with the incorporation of submicrometer-sized Mo5 Si3 particles and also as the content of Mo5 Si3 particles increased. When the Mo5 Si3 –Si3 N4 composites were oxidized at 700°C in air, solid-lubricant MoO3 particles were generated on the surface layer. Oxidized Mo5 Si3 –Si3 N4 composites showed self-lubricating behavior, and the average friction coefficient and wear rate of the oxidized 2.8 wt% Mo5 Si3 –Si3 N4 composite were 0.43 and 0.72 × 10−5 mm3 (N·m)−1 , respectively. Both values were ∼30% lower than those for the Si3 N4 tested in an identical manner. 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

Synthesis of Silicon Nitride/Silicon Carbide Nanocomposite Powders through Partial Reduction of Silicon Nitride by Pyrolyzed Carbon 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An alternative method to incorporate nanometer-sized silicon carbide (SiC) particles into silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) powder was proposed and investigated experimentally. Novolac-type phenolic resin was dissolved in ethanol and mixed with Si3 N4 powder. After drying and curing, the resin was converted to reactive carbon via pyrolysis. Si3 N4 powder was partially reduced carbothermally using the pyrolyzed carbon, and nanometer-sized SiC particles were produced in situ at 1530°-1610°C in atmospheric nitrogen. At temperatures <1550°C, the reduction rate was low and the SiC particles were very small; no SiC whiskers or barlike SiC was observed. At 1600°C, the reduction rate was high and the reaction was close to completion after only 10 min, with the appearance of SiC whiskers as well as curved, barlike, and equiaxial SiC, all of which were dozens of nanometers in diameter; this size is greater than that at observed temperatures <1550°C. A longer soaking time at 1600°C led to agglomerates. SiC particles were close to the surface of the Si3 N4 particles. The SiC content could be adjusted by changing the carbon content before reduction and the reduction temperature. A reaction mechanism that involved the decomposition of Si3 N4 has been proposed. 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

A chemical process for fabrication of Si3 N4 /BN nanocomposite was devised to improve the mechanical properties. Si3 N4 /BN nanocomposites containing 0 to 30 vol% hexagonal BN ( h -BN) were successfully fabricated by hot-pressing α-Si3 N4 powders, on which turbostratic BN ( t -BN) with a disordered layer structure was partly coated. The t -BN coating on α-Si3 N4 particles was prepared by reducing and heating α-Si3 N4 particles covered with a mixture of boric acid and urea. TEM observations of this nanocomposite revealed that the nanosized hexagonal BN ( h -BN) particles were homogeneously dispersed within Si3 N4 grains as well as at grain boundaries. As expected from the rules of composites, Young's modulus of both micro- and nanocomposites decreased with an increase in h -BN content, while the fracture strength of the nanocomposites prepared in this work was significantly improved, compared with the conventional microcomposites. 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

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

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
