Effects of β-Si3N4 Seeds Addition on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Porous Si3N4 Ceramics
Abstract:
Porous Si3N4 ceramics were prepared by conventional sintering method with the initial Si3N4 powder added different amounts of β-Si3N4 seeds and 5 wt.% Y2O3. The porosity, density and flexural strength were tested by Archimedes and three-point bending methods, respectively. Microstructure of porous Si3N4 ceramics was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the fibrous β-Si3N4 grains developed in the bimodal porous microstructure and the average aspect ratio of 6.42 by adjusting the β-Si3N4 seeds content up to 3 wt.%. Under the porosity of about 42%, the flexural strength of the materials could reached 315.98 MPa.
