摘要
氮化硅陶瓷有极大的应用潜力,但由于其强共价键,很难烧结致密化。采用了一种新的MgO-CeO2复合烧结助剂,利用X射线衍射、透射电镜等手段研究了MgO-CeO2复合烧结助剂对氮化硅陶瓷致密化和相变过程的影响,结果发现对Si3N4-MgO-CeO2陶瓷,在1450℃就会有大量液相出现,1500~1550℃为快速致密化阶段,而α-Si3N4→β-Si3N4相变主要发生在1550~1600℃,相变过程滞后于致密化过程。常压烧结Si3N4-MgO-CeO2陶瓷,强度达948MPa,因此,MgO-CeO2是一种非常有效的氮化硅的烧结助剂。
Silicon nitride ceramics show great potential for wide applications. It is difficult to densify silicon nitride due to its covalent nature of bonding. A new sintering aid with combination of MgO and CeO 2 was used in the present study. The effects of MgO CeO 2 on densification and phase transformation during sintering of Si 3N 4 were discussed. For Si 3N 4 MgO CeO 2 ceramics, a lot of liquid phase existed at 1450℃, and densification process took place rapidly from 1550℃ to 150℃; the phase transformation from α Si 3N 4 to β Si 3N 4 took place rapidly from 1550℃ to 1660℃, the phase transformation process lags behind the densification process. The nonpressure sintered Si 3N 4 MgO CeO 2 ceramics achieved a bending strength of 948MPa. MgO CeO 2 can be considered as an effective sintering aid for Si 3N 4.
