Effect of oxidation in the presence of salts on the strength of silicon nitride base ceramics

Journal Article · · Sov. Powder Metall. Met. Ceram. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6452453
The authors assess the effects of oxidation on the elasticity, ultimate high-temperature strength, and stress-strain behavior of a silicon-nitride-based ceramic used in gas turbine engines. Using an combination of chemical, mechanical and ultrasonic techniques, they comparatively test the corrosive effects of sodium chlorides, sodium sulfates, seawater, and the vanadium pentoxide found in the exhaust gases of low-quality fuels on the ceramic, as well as the kinetics of the corrosion reaction itself.
