摘要
Microstructural characterization is performed on two dense Si3N4 ceramic samples consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS): one fabricated using alpha-Si3N4 and the other using beta-Si3N4 as the starting powder. A novel mechanism is revealed where ordered coalescence of nano beta-crystallites accelerate the rapid beta-Si3N4 anisotropic grain growth. The rapid alpha- to beta-Si3N4 phase transformation via a high supersaturation of dissolved Si3N4 in the melt favors this mechanism. The high heating rate by SPS is essential for achieving such supersaturation. (c) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
