ABSTRACT |
The mechanical properties and microstructure and thermal properties of Nitrided Pressureless Sintering(NPS) silicon nitride ceramics, containing three type of $Al_{2}O_3,;Y_{2}O_3$ sintering additives, were investigated. Also, we have investigated the effect of silicon metal content changing with 0, 5, 10, 15, and $20wt%$ Si in each composition. In $5wt%;Al_{2}O_3,;5wt%;Y_{2}O_3,;and;5wt%$ Si composition, silicon nitride sintered body was successfully densified to a high density. The average 4-point flexural strength and relative density of these specimens were 500 MPa and 98% respectively. Also, Thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity of specimens at room temperature were $2.89{times}10^{-6}/^{circ}C;and;28W/m^{circ}C$, respectively. The flexural strength of sintered specimens after thermal shock test of 20,000 cycles was maintained as-received value of 500 MPa. |
