摘要
The specimens of Al2O3/Si3N4 compound ceramics which contain 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18% nano-Al2O3 additions respectively were obtained by pressureless sintering at 1650 degrees C in the nitrogen atmosphere. The bending strength and fracture toughness (K-IC) were detected. The microstructure and phase composition of the specimens were analyzed by the means of SEM and X-ray. The results show that Al2O3/Si3N4 compound ceramics can be made only using pressureless sintering. With 9-12% nano-Al(2)O(3)addition, the specimens have the top mechanical properties. The bending strength reach 710.86MPa, K-IC reach 8.61MPa.M-1/2. These excellent properties come from many interwoven nitride distributed uniformly in the Al2O3/Si3N4 compound ceramics matrix, which composed of big and firmly plate-like beta-Si3N4, hexagonal Sialon and sheet Si2N2O.
