Abstract: | SiC, Si3N4 and SiO2 powders were ground by a vibration ball mill, the pot and balls of which were made of Si3N4 ceramics, in a purified methanol medium. The mean particle diameters of SiC and SiO2 powders were ca. 0.1 μm and thus ultrafine particles were manufactured. The increasing rate of specific surface area by fine grinding was largest on SiO2 powders, and the rate decreased gradually with an increase in grinding time. The specific surface area of Si3N4 powders increased proportionally with an increase in grinding time. The grindability was obtained in the following order: SiO2 > SiC > Si3N4. The ground SiC powders showed a large lattice strain and little fragmentation of crystallites. The strain and the crystallite size of ground Si3N4 powders were moderate. |
