    Notes: Si3N4/carbon fiber composites were fabricated using several types of fiber. All the composites had higher fracture toughness compared with monolithic Si3N4 ceramics. Tribological properties were investigated by a ball-on-disk method under unlubricated conditions. The composite containing fibers with a high orientation of graphite layers and high graphite content indicated a low friction coefficient. It was identified, by Raman spectroscopy, that graphite was transferred from the composite to the Si3N4 ball of the counterbody during the wear test. This transferred layer was effective for producing the low friction behavior of the composite.

    Notes: Surface modification by ion implantation has been conducted to improve the tribological properties of a high-strength and high-fracture-toughness unidirectionally aligned silicon nitride (UA-SN). B+, N+, Si+, and Ti+ ions were implanted into the planes parallel and normal to the grain alignment of the UA-SN with a fluence of 2 × 1017 ions/cm2 at an energy of 200 keV. The ion implanted UA-SN showed a dramatic improvement in wear resistance. For example, the specific wear rate of the Si+-implanted specimen in the direction parallel to the grain alignment was reduced to a value of 3 × 10−10 mm2/N, equal to 1/20 of the unimplanted one. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy indicates the high wear resistance was attributed to the amorphous surface caused by the ion implantation.

    Notes: Si3N4/carbon fiber composites have been produced with and without seeding by an extrusion and sintering process. In both cases the carbon fibers were aligned along the direction of extrusion, but the Si3N4 grains were only aligned in the seeded material. The mechanical properties of the specimens showed anisotropy with respect to the grain alignment, with both strength and toughness being highest in the direction parallel to the extruding direction. In this direction the seeded specimen, where both the Si3N4 grains and the carbon fibers were aligned, showed both higher fracture toughness and higher fracture strength than the nonseeded specimen where only the fibers were aligned.

    Notes: Based on the processing strategy of improving the mechanical properties of liquid-phase-sintered materials by modifying the secondary phase chemistry, four rare-earth oxides (RE2O3, RE = La, Nd, Y, and Yb), in combination with alumina, were used as sintering aids for a submicrometer-size β-SiC powder. Doped with 5 vol% RE2O3+ Al2O3 additives, all specimens were hot-pressed to near full-densities at 1800°C, and they exhibited similar microstructures and grain size distributions. The SiC grains in all specimens revealed a core-rim structure after being plasma-etched, indicating that they were densified via the same solution-reprecipitation mechanism. It was found that a decrease in the cationic radius of the rare-earth oxides was accompanied by an increase in Young’s modulus, hardness, and flexural strength of the SiC ceramics, whereas the fracture toughness was improved by incorporating rare-earth oxides of larger cationic radius. The changes in the mechanical properties were attributed to the difference in the chemistry of the intergranular phases in the four ceramics.

    Notes: α-SiAlONs with equiaxed and elongated microstructures stabilized with Y2O3 and Lu2O3 were produced by hot pressing, and the phase structure and room- and high-temperature mechanical properties were assessed. Additional liquid added to the starting composition in the form of 5 wt% rare-earth monosilicate resulted in the formation of elongated microstructures and improvements in room-temperature strength and fracture toughness. The elongated grain growth was promoted by the additional liquid phase, which crystallized to form a secondary grain-boundary phase thought to be J′ (Re4Si2–xAlxO7+xN2–x). For the equiaxed and the elongated samples, those sintered with Lu2O3 showed higher hardness than the comparable Y2O3-sintered materials, and, at elevated temperature, the strength retention of the elongated Lu2O3 SiAlON was much higher than that of the Y2O3 sample, which was attributed to properties of the residual grain-boundary phase associated with the difference in the cationic radius of the stabilizing cation.

    Notes: The friction and wear properties of silicon nitride/carbon fiber composites have been assessed and compared with monolithic Si3N4. Three different types of composites have been produced; one in which both the Si3N4 grains and the carbon fibers were aligned, one in which only the fibers had alignment, and a third where both the grains and fibers had random orientation. The friction coefficients of all of the composites, following running in, were around 0.2–0.3, typically less than one-third of that of the monolithic material. However there was no significant difference in friction coefficient between the three different types of composite. The specific wear rates of all the materials decreased with sliding distance and those of the composites were lower than the monolithic material. Among the composites, the wear rate of the one with aligned fibers in a randomly oriented Si3N4 matrix showed no dependence on sliding direction relative to the fiber alignment, and the specific wear rates of these samples were similar to that of the randomly oriented fiber composite, indicating little effect of fiber alignment alone on the wear properties under the present testing conditions. However, the specific wear rate of the composite with both fiber and grain alignment showed directional dependence. Grain cracking was observed perpendicular to the sliding direction, and the Spara specimen, in which the sliding direction was parallel to the Si3N4 grain alignment, showed higher wear rates than the Sperp and N samples of this composite. Such cracks are perpendicular to the major axis of the grains in the Spara sample and are thought to lead to easier removal of grains following their cracking under the tensile stresses induced particularly during the running in period.

    Notes: The synthesis of magnesium silicon nitride (MgSiN2) by direct nitridation of a Si/Mg2Si/Mg/Si3N4 powder mixture is described. A nucleation period at 550°C and stepwise heat-treatment schedule up to 1350°C was adopted for the synthesis of MgSiN2 powder, based on TG-DTA measurements. The influence of the ratio of constituents on the final phase composition also has been studied. The content of magnesium and silicon in the starting powder should fulfill the conditions Mg2Si/Mg ≥ 3 and Si3N4/Sitot≥ 0.5 to obtain single-phase MgSiN2. The silicon particle size of 〈0.5 μm is preferable to decrease the time of nitridation. The oxygen content of as-synthesized powders is in the range 0.9–1.2 wt%. However, the oxygen content of MgSiN2 powder decreases further by the addition of 2 wt% CaF2 or 0.75 wt% carbon and reaching the lowest value of 0.45 wt% oxygen after carbothermal reduction in an alumina-tube furnace.

    Notes: A monolithic SiC ceramic and two SiC–C composite ceramics containing 10 and 20 vol% graphite were fully densified with Al4C3 and B4C as additives. The tribological properties of these materials were evaluated by sliding against sintered silicon carbide under dry conditions using two tribometers, block-on-ring and pin-on-disk, where wear occurred under low and high contact stresses, respectively. For all three materials, under low stress, worn surfaces were smooth and wear processes were dominated by tribochemical reaction; under high stress, worn surfaces were rough and wear processes were dominated by fracture and three-body abrasion. A lubricating effect of the graphite particles in the SiC–C composites was observed in all sliding tests. However, while the addition of graphite could concurrently result in a reduction in friction and an increase in wear resistance in the block-on-ring tests, the addition of graphite led to sharply enhanced wear rates despite the lowered coefficients of friction in the pin-on-disk tests. The cause for that difference was attributed to the effect of both the hardness of the materials and the contact stresses.

    Notes: Abrasive jet machining (AJM) is proposed as a new approach to surface finishing of structural ceramics. The effect of AJM on the material removal behavior of a commercially available alumina ceramic, and its effect on mechanical properties, was characterized and compared with identical material subjected to conventional finishing processes. Conventional grinding of the ceramic resulted in a surface that was dominated by intergranular fracture, whereas, during AJM, impact by the abrasives led to material removal in a manner resembling ductile behavior, and the resulting surface appearance was much smoother. A significant improvement in flexural strength was attained, compared with the strength of both the ground and lapped samples, because of an induced compressive residual stress.

    Notes: The influence of different rare-earth sintering additives (Y, Yb, Lu) on the wear properties of Si3N4 ceramics was investigated during sliding contact without lubricant. The kind of rare-earth additives was shown to have a significant effect on the wear behavior for contact sliding under the present testing conditions. Samples sintered with Y2O3 as the sintering additive showed evidence of fracture type wear although this was not observed in samples sintered with Yb2O3 and Lu2O3. These smaller rare earths lead to higher grain boundary bonding strength and superior high-temperature properties and resulted in higher wear resistance. These results showed that the wear properties of Si3N4 ceramics could be tailored by judicious selection of the sintering additives.
