    Notes: Thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, mass spectrometry, and X-ray diffractometry were used to study the reaction process of the in situ reaction between Si3N4, B4C, and carbon for the synthesis of silicon carbide–boron nitride composites. Atmospheres with a low partial pressure of nitrogen (for example argon + 5%–10% nitrogen) seemed to inhibit denitrification and also maintain a high reaction rate. However, the reaction rate decreased significantly in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. The experimental mass spectrometry results also revealed that B4C in the Si3N4–B4C–C system inhibited the reaction between Si3N4 and carbon and, even, the decomposition of Si3N4. The present results indicate that boron could be a composition stabilizer for ceramic materials in the Si-N-C system used at high temperature.

    Notes: A ZrB2–SiC composite was prepared from a mixture of zirconium, silicon, and B4C via reactive hot pressing. The three-point bending strength was 506 ± 43 MPa, and the fracture toughness was 4.0 MPa·m1/2. The microstructure of the composite was observed via scanning electron microscopy; the in-situ-formed ZrB2 and SiC were found in agglomerates with a size that was in the particle-size ranges of the zirconium and silicon starting powders, respectively. A model of the microstructure formation mechanism of the composite was proposed, to explain the features of the phase distributions. It is considered that, in the reactive hot-pressing process, the B and C atoms in B4C will diffuse into the Zr and Si sites and form ZrB2 and SiC in situ, respectively. Because the diffusion of Zr and Si atoms is slow, the microstructure (phase distributions) of the obtained composite shows the features of the zirconium and silicon starting powders.

    Notes: The results for the corrosion of alumina single crystals at 1700-2000°C in argon, argon/water vapor, air, and air/water vapor for 10 h are reported. There were no obvious weight and volume changes after corrosion. White spots were observed on the surfaces of the specimens after corrosion tests. The initial temperature for the appearance of these white spots was 1800°C for argon and air, 1900°C for argon/water vapor, and 2000°C for air/water vapor. These white spots were likely formed by internal impurities, which diffused outward to the surface and coalesced at high temperatures. There was no evidence of corrosion damage inside the specimens. The flexural strength of the specimens was clearly enhanced after the corrosion tests and showed no evident relation to the corrosion conditions. This increase in strength after corrosion was likely due to the healing of surface machining flaws. The surface flaw healing temperature for alumina crystals was higher than 1400°C.

    Notes: The effect of Y2O3 addition (0–5 wt%) on the densification and properties of reactive hot-pressed alumina (Al2O3)–boron nitride composites based on the reaction between aluminum borate (2Al2O3·B2O3) and aluminum nitride (AlN) was investigated. The densification process was very sensitive to the amount of Y2O3. Compared with a low relative density of 79.3 theoretical density (TD)% for material with no Y2O3 addition, the material density reached 98.6 TD% with 0.25% Y2O3 addition. High Y2O3 additions resulted in the formation of a new phase Al5Y3O12. The grain growth of the Al2O3 matrix was promoted by the Y2O3 addition. Owing to the high density and the small Al2O3 particle size the sample with 0.25% Y2O3 addition demonstrated the highest bending strength of 540 MPa.

    Notes: A dense alumina-silicon carbide (Al2O3–SiC) nanocomposite was synthesized in situ from the reaction of mullite, aluminum, and carbon by reactive hot pressing (RHP). Transmission electron microscopy investigation showed that in situ-formed, nanometer-sized SiC particles were mainly entrapped in the matrix grains, whereas submicrometer-sized particles were located at the grain boundaries or triple points of the Al2O3. In addition, no amorphous phase was observed at the interfaces of the Al2O3 and SiC grains, which indicated strong direct bonding. Fracture-surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy revealed an intrafracture mode. The bending strength of the nanocomposite RHP-treated at 1800°C was 795 ± 160 MPa, and the fracture toughness, measured by the indentation method, was 3.1 MPa·m1/2.

    Notes: Porous SiC ceramics were synthesized by sintering pressed and pressed/CIPed powder compacts of α-Si3N4, carbon (Si3N4:C = 1:3 mol as ratio), and sintering aids, at 1600°C for few hours to achieve a reaction, and subsequently sintering at a temperature range of 1750°–1900°C, in an argon atmosphere. High porosities from 45%–65% were achieved by low shrinkage with large weight loss. Formation of pure 2H-SiC phase via a reaction between Si3N4 and carbon can be demonstrated by X-ray diffractometry. The resultant porous SiC samples were characterized by SiC grain microstructures, pore-size distribution, and flexural strength. This method has the advantage of fabricating high-porous SiC ceramics with fine microstructure and good properties at a relatively low temperature.

    Notes: Single-phase β′-SiAlON (Si6−zAlzOzN8−z, z= 0–4.2) ceramics with porous structure have been prepared by pressureless sintering of powder mixtures of á-Si3N4, AlN, and Al2O3 of the SiAlON compositions. A solution of AlN and Al2O3 into Si3N4 resulted in the β′-SiAlON, and full densification was prohibited because no other sintering additives were used. Relative densities ranging from 50%–90% were adjusted with the z-value and sintering temperature. The results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses indicated that single-phase β′-SiAlON free from a grain boundary glassy phase could be obtained. Both grain and pore sizes increased with increasing z-value. Low z-value resulted in a relatively high flexural strength.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of Al2O3-based porous ceramics fabricated from pure Al2O3 powder and the mixtures with Al(OH)3 were investigated. The fracture strength of the porous Al2O3 specimens sintered from the mixture was substantially higher than that of the pure Al2O3 sintered specimens because of strong grain bonding that resulted from the fine Al2O3 grains produced by the decomposition of Al(OH)3. However, the elastic modulus of the porous Al2O3 specimens did not increase with the incorporation of Al(OH)3, so that the strain to failure of the porous Al2O3 ceramics increased considerably, especially in the specimens with high porosity, because of the unique pore structures related to the large original Al(OH)3 particles. Fracture toughness also increased with the addition of Al(OH)3 in the specimens with higher porosity. However, fracture toughness did not improve in the specimens with lower porosity because of the fracture-mode transition from intergranular, at higher porosity, to transgranular, at lower porosity.

    Notes: SiC–BN composites were prepared via the proposed in situ reaction, which used Si3N4, B4C, and carbon as reactants. Adding SiC powder to the reactants controlled the BN content in the composite. For comparison, SiC–BN composites with the same phase compositions were produced via conventional processing. The in situ process was advantageous for obtaining better composites with fine grain size and homogeneous microstructures. The in situ composite that had a BN content of 53.71 vol% exhibited considerably high strength (342 MPa) and a very low elastic modulus (107 GPa). The SiC–25-vol%-BN in situ composite had a peak strength of 588 MPa, which was 95% of that of monolithic SiC; however, the elastic modulus was as low as half that of monolithic SiC. These in situ SiC–BN composites can be expected to have excellent thermal shock resistance and mechanical strain tolerance.

    Notes: Successful net-shape sintering offers a significant advantage for producing large or complicated products. Porous Si3N4 ceramics with very low shrinkage were developed, in the present investigation, by the addition of a small amount of carbon. Carbon powders (1–5 vol%) of two types, with different mean particle sizes (13 nm and 5 μm), were added to α-Si3N4−5 wt% Y2O3 powders. SiC nanoparticles formed through reaction of the added carbon with SiO2 on the Si3N4 surface or with the Si3N4 particles themselves. Such reaction-formed SiC nanoparticles apparently had an effective reinforcing effect, as in nanocomposites. Sintered Si3N4 porous ceramics with a high porosity of 50%–60%, a very small linear shrinkage of ∼2%–3%, and a strength of ∼100 MPa were obtained.
