| Abstract: | The effects of fabrication variables on the high-temperature strength of hot-pressed Si3N4 containing 5 wt% Y2O3 were studied. Materials containing a crystalline grain-boundary phase, formed as a consequence of a high-temperature presintering heat treatment and identified as Si3N4·Y2O3, had high-temperature strengths significantly superior to those observed for materials containing a glass phase. |
