ABSTRACTCyclic and static fatigue properties of pressure-less sintered silicon nitride were evaluated at 1000° C in air and in nitrogen using four-point bending mode. The data of cyclic fatigue tests or static fatigue tests and the morphology of the fractured surfaces in nitrogen were compared with those in air. The cyclic fatigue behavior was remarkably influenced by the atmosphere, while the static fatigue was less influenced. Crack healing effect due to the oxidation around the crack are thought to be the most probable mechanism to affect the cyclic fatigue rate in air.

Room-temperature strength was evaluated using sintered silicon nitride crept specimens. Creep tests were performed using 4-point bending loading at 1400°C in air. The bending creep tests applied stresses from 100 to 400 MPa for 10−1 to 3×103 hours. For applied stress over 200 MPa, the room-temperature strength of the crept specimen had two stages. In the first stage the strength degraded slowly, and in the second stage the strength degraded rapidly. In the first stage, oxidation caused the strength degradation, since the degradation was similar for the different applied stresses. In the second stage, large creep deformation mainly caused the strength degradation. Early in the stage, creep induced matrix and boundary damage under the oxidation layer caused the degradation. At the end of the stage, cracks induced by creep caused the degradation.
