A comparative study on nitridation mechanism and microstructural development of porous reaction bonded silicon nitride in the presence of CaO, MgO and Al2O3
Abstract:During the in-situ nitridation of Si in the presence of CaO, MgO and Al 2 O 3 formation of reaction bonded silicon nitride ceramics (RBSN) having various microstructures indicated the possibility of different nitridation mechanisms operating. Experimental evidence suggested that, whereas the morphology of pores was controlled by nitridation of Si(g) in CaO-RBSN and SiO(g) in Al 2 O 3-RBSN, a combination of these two reactions occurred during the nitridation of the MgO-RBSN. By inhibiting the growth of whiskers… Show more
