The stability of silicon nitride aqueous slips has been studied in order to obtain Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} pressureless sintered compacts. High solid content slips (up to 65 wt%) have been prepared by using tetramethylammonium hydroxide as dispersing agent. The effect of sintering aids on the rheology and casting conditions has been studied by slip casting and uniaxial pressure filtration. The casting rate, the green density and the microstructure of samples obtained from both slurry consolidation techniques have been compared taking into account the role of the sintering additives. Sintering of cast green specimens has been performed at 1750{degrees}C in N{sub 2} atmosphere.
