Microstructure & properties of SiC-AlN multiphase ceramics
- Chinese Academy of Science, Shanghai (China); and others
It is that AlN and SiC mixture could form solid solution at the temperature from 1800{degrees}C to 2100{degrees}C, its result will be conducive to important benefits for the improving to study and develop on the silicon carbide ceramics. The effect of AlN as a mainly additive phase on silicon carbide ceramic were investigated in this paper. For the optimum hot press(HP) process, SiC and AlN mixture formed solid solution at the 1950{degrees}C--2050{degrees}C in Ar environment. The properties of SiC-AlN composition were that bending strength more than 600 MPa and fracture toughness more than 7 MPa.m{sup 1/2} at the room temperature(R.T) could be received, at the same time the strength hold ascertain value from R.T. to 1400{degrees}C in air. The dense samples were examined by metallograph, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) & transmission electron microscope (TEM) to determine the fracture structure, interface phase, crack spread etc.
