    Notes: Doped ceria (CeO2) compounds are fluorite-type oxides that show oxide ionic conductivity higher than yttria-stabilized zirconia in oxidizing atmosphere. As a consequence of this, considerable interest has been shown in application of these materials for “low” (500°–650°C) temperature operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). To improve the conductivity in dysprosium (Dy) doped CeO2, nano-size round shape particles were prepared using a coprecipitation method. The dense sintered bodies with small grain sizes (〈300 nm) were fabricated using a combined process of spark plasma sintering (SPS) and conventional sintering (CS). Dy-doped CeO2 sintered body with large grains (1.1 μm) had large micro-domains. The conductivity in the sintered body was low (−3.2 S/cm at 500°C). On the other hand, the conductivity in the specimens obtained by the combined process was considerably improved. The micro-domain size in the grain was minimized using the present process. It is concluded that the enhancement of conductivity in dense specimens produced by the combined process (SPS+CS) is attributable to the microstructural changes within the grains.

    Notes: The effect of oxidation exposure on room-temperature flexural strength was examined in 3.33- and 12.51-wt%-Lu2O3-containing hot-pressed Si3N4 ceramics exposed to air at 1500°C for up to 1000 h. After oxidation exposure, the room-temperature strength of the ceramics was degraded, and strength retention decreased with time at temperature, dependent on the amount of additive. The retention in room-temperature strength displayed by the two compositions after 1000 h of oxidation exposure was 75%–80%. The degradation in strength was attributed to the formation of new defects at and/or near the interface between the oxide layer and the Si3N4 bulk during oxidation exposure.

    Notes: Fully dense SiC ceramics with high strength at high temperature were obtained by hot-pressing and subsequent annealing under pressure, with AlN and Er2O3 as sintering additives. The ceramics had a self-reinforced microstructure consisting of elongated SiC grains and a grain-boundary glassy phase. The strength of these ceramics was ∼550 MPa at 1600°C, and the fracture toughness was ∼6 MPa·m1/2 at room temperature. The beneficial effect of the new additive composition on high-temperature strength might be attributable to the introduction of aluminum from the liquid composition into the SiC lattice, resulting in a refractive grain-boundary glassy phase.

    Notes: The oxidation behavior and effect of oxidation on room-temperature flexural strength were investigated for hot-pressed Si3N4 ceramics, with 3.33 and 12.51 wt% Lu2O3 additives, exposed to air at 1400° and 1500°C for up to 200 h. Parabolic oxidation behavior was observed for both compositions. The oxidation products consisted of Lu2Si2O7 and SiO2. The Lu2Si2O7 grew out of the surface silicate in preferred orientations. The morphology of oxidized surfaces was dependent on the amount of additive; Lu2Si2O7 grains in the 3.33 wt% composition appeared partially in a needlelike type, compared with a more equiaxed type exhibited in the 12.51 wt% case. The high resistance to oxidation shown for both compositions was attributed to the extensive amounts of crystalline, refractory secondary phases formed during the sintering process. Moreover, after 200 h of oxidation at 1400° and 1500°C, the strength retention displayed by the two compositions was 93%–95% and 85%–87%, respectively. The strength decrease was associated with the formation of new defects at the interface between the oxide layer and the Si3N4 bulk.

    Notes: Cerium(III) sulfide (Ce2S3) powder was synthesized via the sulfurization of ceria (CeO2) powder using carbon disulfide gas. Single-phase α-Ce2S3 could be formed via sulfurization at 973 K for 28.8 ks. The preparation of α-Ce2S3 became feasible at low temperature, in comparison to sulfurization using hydrogen sulfide gas. According to the fact that the formation of α-Ce2S3 was accelerated by the addition of carbon black to the CeO2 powder, carbothermic reduction was considered to become a dominant reaction, as the temperature increased. To obtain the activation energy for the densification of β-Ce2S3 powder, which was prepared by vacuum heating α-Ce2S3, the data of densification by hot pressing was analyzed by a kinetic equation that was proposed by other researchers. As a result, the sintering behavior could be best explained by a grain-boundary-diffusion mechanism that had an apparent activation energy of 382 kJ/mol.

    Notes: The thickness of intergranular films in polycrystalline β-Si3N4 ceramics, both before and after superplastic deformation, has been systematically investigated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In characterizing the film thickness, care was taken to correlate the grain boundary orientation with the direction of the compressive stress applied during the hot-pressing and the superplastic deformation. The film thickness shows a dependence on the intersection angle between the grain boundary and the applied force direction, typically ranging from around a characteristic value for most of the boundaries to zero for a boundary which has an overall short length and is perpendicular to the applied force direction. The film thicknesses in the deformed material, as compared with those before deformation, are marked by a wider distribution and an increased fraction of boundaries free of films, unequivocally demonstrating that during the superplastic deformation the liquid phase is redistributed within short ranges, a process governed by the local stress level as well as kinetic factors. Possible consequences of the liquid-phase redistribution on the deformation behavior are also discussed.

    Notes: α(6H)- and β(3C)-SiC powders were sintered with the addition of AlB2 and carbon. α-SiC powder could be densified to ∼98% of the theoretical density over a wide range of temperatures from 1900° to 2150°C and with the additives of 0.67–2.7 mass% of AlB2 and 2.0 mass% of carbon. Sintering of the β-SiC powder required a temperature of 〉2000°C for densification with these additives. Grains in the α-SiC specimens grew gradually from spherical-shaped to plate-shaped grains at 2000°C; the 6H polytype transformed mainly to 4H. On the other hand, grains in the β-SiC largely grew at 〉2000°C; the 3C polytype transformed to 4H, 6H, and 15R. The stacking faults introduced in grains were denser in β-SiC than in α-SiC. The rapid grain growth in the β-SiC specimen was attributed to polytype transformation from the unstable 3C polytype at the sintering temperature.

    Notes: Using AlN and RE2O3 (RE = Y, Yb) as sintering additives, two different SiC ceramics with high strength at 1500°C were fabricated by hot-pressing and subsequent annealing under pressure. The ceramics had a self-reinforced microstructure consisting of elongated α-SiC grains and a grain-boundary glassy phase. High-temperature strength up to 1600°C was measured and compared with that of the SiC ceramics fabricated with AlN and Er2O3. SiC ceramics with AlN and Y2O3 showed the best strength (∼630 MPa) at 1500°C, while SiC ceramics with AlN and Er2O3 the best strength (∼550 MPa) at 1600°C.

    Notes: Phase relationships in the Si3N4–SiO2–Lu2O3 system were investigated at 1850°C in 1 MPa N2. Only J-phase, Lu4Si2O7N2 (monoclinic, space group P21/c, a= 0.74235(8) nm, b= 1.02649(10) nm, c= 1.06595(12) nm, and β= 109.793(6)°) exists as a lutetium silicon oxynitride phase in the Si3N4–SiO2–Lu2O3 system. The Si3N4/Lu2O3 ratio is 1, corresponding to the M-phase composition, resulted in a mixture of Lu–J-phase, β-Si3N4, and a new phase of Lu3Si5ON9, having orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pbcm (No. 57), with a= 0.49361(5) nm, b= 1.60622(16) nm, and c= 1.05143(11) nm. The new phase is best represented in the new Si3N4–LuN–Lu2O3 system. The phase diagram suggests that Lu4Si2O7N2 is an excellent grain-boundary phase of silicon nitride ceramics for high-temperature applications.

    Notes: We report the preparation of nanosized silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramics via high-energy mechanical milling and subsequent spark plasma sintering. A starting powder mixture consisting of ultrafine β-Si3N4 and sintering additives of 5-mol% Y2O3 and 2-mol% Al2O3 was prepared by high-energy mechanical milling. After milling, the powder mixture was mostly transformed into a non-equilibrium amorphous phase containing a large quantity of well-dispersed nanocrystalline β-Si3N4 particles. This powder precursor was then consolidated by spark plasma sintering at a temperature as low as 1600°C for 5 min at a heating rate of 300°C/min. The fully densified sample consisted of homogeneous nano-Si3N4 grains with an average diameter of about 70 nm, which led to noticeable high-temperature ductility and elevated hardness.
