Title: Examining Si3N4 base materials with various rare earth additions. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5932468

Silicon nitride base compositions were prepared by using various rare earth oxide additives and hot pressing the powders to full density. Compositions were primarily explored in Si3N4-SiO2-RE2Si2O7 compatibility regions although other Si3N4-RE2O3 reactions were also investigated. Hot pressing densification data and high temperature behavior of the various silicon nitride rare earth compositional systems are examined.
