Abstract In relation to the joining of silicon nitride ceramics to metal, the reaction products and the reaction mechanism between Si3N4 and titanium have been investigated under a nitrogen or an argon atmosphere at temperatures of 823–1573 K. Using Si3N4/titanium powder mixtures, reaction rates were determined by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and reaction products were examined by X-ray diffraction. At higher temperatures and on prolonged heating, reaction products were changed in the following orders: TiN2, TiN2+TiN, TiN+TiSi2+Si, TiN+Si and TiN (nitrogen atmosphere) and TiN2+Ti5Si5, TiN2+TiN+Ti5Si3 and TiN+TiSi2+Si (argon). By relating these results to TG measurements, a full understanding of the reaction mechanism between Si3N4 and titanium was acquired.
