Resumo
Porous β-Si3N4 can be microstructurally engineered to provide similar mechanical properties to
dense β-Si3N4, with the additional benefits of reduced mass. However, while flexural strengths
exceeding 1 GPa can be achieved by tailoring the microstructure of the material, through
alignment of anisotropic β-Si3N4 grains, the porosity levels of such materials are still relatively
low (< 15 vol. %). This also requires moderately complex processing techniques to be employed,
such as tape-casting and sinter-forging. In the present study, an alternate approach is taken where
compositional design is advocated, with the aim of producing a more porous β-Si3N4 structure
(ideally 20-40 vol. % porosity) with high grain aspect ratios (i.e. >10:1). This approach makes
use of a low volume fraction of multiple sintering aids, where each additive plays one or more
roles in the sintering behavior of Si3N4 (i.e. densification aid, transformation aid and/or whisker
growth aid). Compositions are based on various ratios of Y2O3:MgO, both with and without CaO
additions. Sintering has been conducted in a nitrogen atmosphere (0.1 MPa) between 1400 and
1700°C. The effects of processing parameters (e.g. composition, sintering temperature and time)
will be discussed, paying particular attention to microstructure development, including both the
densification behavior and α- to β-Si3N4 transformation kinetics.
