摘要
Sintering additives containing Y2O3 influence the microstructure and the crystalline-state of Si3N4-ceramics produced via pressureless sintering, and determine their response towards oxidation. Y2SiO5 and Y2Si2O7 were formed after sintering and oxidation, respectively. The superficial layers formed after oxidation are thinner and formed faster on the surface of the compositions 90Si(3)N(4)-5Y(2)O(3)-5Al(2)O(3) and 90Si(3)N(4)-5Y(2)O(3)-5AlN than on 90Si(3)N(4)-5Y(2)O(3)-2.5Al(2)O(3)-2.5AlN (in wt.%). The 90Si(3)N(4)-5Y(2)O(3)-5Al(2)O(3)/liquid Al interface features strong interfacial adhesion while mild diffusion should govern the interfacial interactions. Compounds, whose formation results from the yttria-containing sintering aids, such as yttrium aluminates, should act as diffusion barriers at the ceramic/liquid metal interface. The experimental results indicate attractive features for applications in both Al-foundry industry and production of Si3N4-Al composites. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
