| Abstract: | Silicon nitride ceramics containing calcium aluminates as sintering aids have been prepared by hot pressing at 1650°C in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the effect of sintering aid content on their microstructure, phase composition, mechanical strength, and air oxidation resistance has been studied. The results demonstrate that the Si3N4 ceramic containing 10 wt % calcium aluminates has a uniform distribution of intergranular multicomponent oxide phases and consists of densely packed silicon nitride grains. Owing to this, it offers the maximum mechanical strength (850 MPa) and is stable to air oxidation up to 1300°C. |
