Abstract SILICON CARBIDE SC-221 is a beta-phase silicon carbide made from the pressureless sintering method. It possesses excellent mechanical strength at high temperature (4-point bending strength of 71ksi [490 MPa] at 1400 C [2552 F]). This datasheet provides information on physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and bend strength as well as fracture toughness. Filing Code: Cer-5. Producer or source: Kyocera America Inc..

Silicon carbide ( SiC ) exhibits good strength at high temperatures and resistance to radioactivity. However, it has poor fracture toughness. The ability to heal cracks represents a very desirable means of overcoming this weakness. This study focuses on the crack-healing behavior and bending strength of SiC ceramics to which sintering additives have been added. Optimized crack-healing condition was found to be 1hr at an atmospheric level of 1100 °C. The maximum crack size that can be healed at the optimized condition was a semi-elliptical surface crack of 450 µm in diameter. Si oxide was revealed to be the principle material involved in crack-healing.

A newly developed high-strength reaction-sintered silicon carbide (SiC), which has two or three times higher strength than conventional sintered SiC, is one of the most promising candidates for lightweight substrates of optical mirrors, because of its fully dense structure, small sintering shrinkage ( < 0.5 %), good shape capability, and low sintering temperature. In this paper, in order to improve the performance of the newly developed reaction-sintered SiC, the effect of the microstructure on the bending strength was investigated by focusing on a physical fracture model using observations from transmission electron microscopy and X-ray stress measurement. As a result, it was confirmed that the bending strength of the newly developed reaction-sintered SiC could be improved by reducing the size of residual silicon. The strengthening mechanism of the newly developed reaction-sintered SiC was assumed to be due to piled-up dislocations at the grain-boundary of residual silicon sites, based on Stroh’s fracture model of polycrystalline solids.
