“…For the reinforcement to play its role efficiently, some characteristics such as chemical compatibility and similar coefficients of thermal expansion should be considered [11]. Among the silicon nitride composites, the most important are Si 3 N 4 -SiC [12,13], Si 3 N -ZrB 2 , Si 3 N 4 -BN and Si 3 N 4 -TiN [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The Si 3 N 4 -TiN composite is used in structural and studied for biomedical applications due to its high mechanical strength, low density, and good electrical properties.…”

“…The presence of dispersed TiN particles in the Si 3 N 4 matrix makes it possible to obtain materials with high fracture toughness and flexural strength, high hardness, high chemical and wear resistance and high melt temperature [14,15]. As the TiN second phase presents considerable electrical conductivity, a reduction occurs in the electrical resistivity of the material, allowing its machining by electric discharge [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. In the present study, we investigated the effect of different contents of TiN in densification and microstructure of Si 3 N 4 -TiN composites also using Al 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 as sintering aids.…”

Silicon nitride is a ceramic material widely used in various structural applications at high temperatures owing to its excellent combination of mechanical and thermal properties. To increase the application of Si 3 N 4 , many researches have been developed to improve its fracture toughness and processing conditions. In this study, the sintering and microstructure of Si 3 N 4-TiN composites, containing Al 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 as sintering aids, were studied. Samples were obtained by the conventional method of mixing powders and sintered at 1750 ºC/1 h and 1815 ºC/1 h under nitrogen atmosphere. Density values of the samples were determined by the Archimedes method, reaching values between 96.9% and 98.0% of theoretical density, with a porosity of less than 0.5%. The sintered samples were analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed the materials reached high fracture toughness, low hardness and a microstructure with TiN grains dispersed in a β-Si 3 N 4 matrix containing an amorphous intergranular phase.
