Refractory Ceramics

Grain boundaries have long held a special significance to ceramicists. In part, this has been because it has been impossible until now to actually observe the boundaries themselves. Just as important, however, is the fact that the grain boundaries and their environs have a determing influence on both the mechanisms by which powder compaction occurs during fabrication, and on the overall mechanical properties of the material. One area where the grain boundary plays a particularly important role is in the high temperature strength of hot-pressed ceramics. This is a subject of current interest as extensive efforts are being made to develop ceramics, such as silicon nitride alloys, for high temperature structural applications. In this presentation we describe how the techniques of lattice fringe imaging have made it possible to study the grain boundaries in a number of refractory ceramics, and illustrate some of the findings.

Dense Product

Silicon nitride and silicon nitride based-ceramics are now well known for their potential as hightemperature structural materials, e.g. in engines. However, as is the case for many ceramics, in order to produce a dense product, sintering additives are utilized which allow liquid-phase sintering to occur; but upon cooling from the sintering temperature residual intergranular phases are formed which can be deleterious to high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, especially if these phases are nonviscous glasses. Many oxide sintering additives have been utilized in processing attempts world-wide to produce dense creep resistant components using Si3N4 but the problem of controlling intergranular phases requires an understanding of the glass forming and subsequent glass-crystalline transformations that can occur at the grain boundaries.

Manufacturing Techniques

ABSTRACTPolymer infiltration/pyrolysis (PIP) processing has the potential to become an affordable means of manufacturing continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix components. The PIP method is very similar to the well-known polymer-matrix and carbon-carbon composite manufacturing techniques, the major difference being the use of a preceramic polymer in place of the organic polymer or carbon precursor. To date, the majority of research in the field of preceramic polymers has centered on precursors to silicon carbide (SiC). The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has focused on the development of polymeric precursors to silicon nitride (Si3N4) because its high-temperature strength, resistance to oxidation, and other properties make it an attractive candidate for many advanced high-temperature structural applications. PIP Si3N4 composites with NICALON SiC fiber reinforcement have exhibited good fracture toughness (KIC ∼ 16MPa·m1/ 2). We report here processing, microstructure and preliminary mechanical properties of two new PIP Si3N4 composites. One is reinforced with Tonen Si3N4 fiber (plain weave) while the other is reinforced with ALMAX Al2O3 fiber (8 Harness satin weave).
