Abstract: | Amorphous Si-Zr-N-O powders, obtained by nitridation in an NH3 flow of zirconium modified polycarbosilane, have been sintered to full density by hot pressing at 1500 C. The resulting ceramic shows an extremely fine-grained microstructure composed of Si2N2O and ZrO2 crystallites 20–30 nm in diameter. Thermal stability measured in air appears excellent up to 1300 C for 48 h. Mechanical characterization pointed out good values of flexural strength (330 MPa), fracture toughness (4.1 MPam0.5) and Weibull modulus. |
