摘要
The instabilities of Si3N4 and Si3N4 ceramics during sintering are investigated. As a result of the instabilities, Si3N4 and Si3N4 ceramics lose their mass or decompose. The major mass loss reaction of Si3N4 ceramics is shown as follows. Si3N4 (S) + 3SiO(2)(1) = 6SiO(g) + 2N(2)(g) Regarding the mass loss, decreasing the sintering temperature by 30 K corresponds to an increase in N-2 pressure in the furnace by one order magnitude. By understanding well the mass loss phenomenon, Si3N4 ceramics will be produced commercially in 0.1 MPa N-2 gas or air.
