Notes:
The effects of sintering cycles and doping elements on the microstructures of Ln-α-sialon were studied. The results showed that microstructures with an elongated α-sialon morphology could be obtained through high-temperature post-heat treatment (1800–1900°C) or by prolonging soaking times during sintering. Different rare-earth elements had a profound effect on the microstructure of the resulting α-sialon. The Ln-α-sialon doped with low-Z-value elements could easily develop elongated grains with higher aspect ratio.
