SELF-REINFORCED HP SILICON NITRIDE CERAMICS
-
Abstract
For the self-reinforced HP Si3N4 ceramics, the effects of(Y2O3+La2O3) wt% and the ratio between Y2O3 and La2O3 on the mechanical properties and microstructure were studied. Analysis of toughening processes indicated that both crack deflection and -Si3N4 bridging mechanisms can contribute to the fracture toughness of HP-Si3N4 ceramics. Inaddition, the oxidizing behavior and feature of subjecting to thermal cycling were studied in this paper.
