High-Temperature Compressive Deformation of SiAlON Polycrystals Prepared without Additives

Article Preview

Abstract:

The high-temperature deformation of dense nano-sized Ca-α SiAlON and submicron- sized β-SiAlON polycrystals were investigated by compression tests. These polycrystals were fabricated from Ca-α SiAlON and β-SiAlON nano powders respectively, and contained almost no intergranular glass phase. Both SiAlONs exhibited large plastic deformations with the stress exponent n ~1 in the higher stress region, and n ~2 in the lower stress region. Shear-thickening creep (n < 1), which has been reported in liquid contained SiAlONs, was not observed.
