Abstract

Four different $\beta-Si_3N_4$ ceramics with silicon oxynitrides $[Y_10(SiO_4)_6N_2, Yb_4Si_2N_2O_7, Er_2Si_3N_4O_3, \;and La_{10}(SiO_4)_6N_2$, respectivley] as secondary phases have been fabricated by hot-pressing the $Si_3N_4-Re_4Si_2N_2O_7$ (Re=Y, Yb, Er, and La) compositions at $1820^{\circ}C$ for 2h under a pressure of 25 MPa. The high temperature strength and oxidation behavior of the hot-pressed ceramics were characterized and compared with those of the ceramics fabricated from $Si_3N_4-Si_2O_7$ compositions. The $Si_3N_4-Re_4Si_2N_2O_7$composition investigated herein showed comparable high temperature strength to those from $Si_3N_4-Re_2Si_2O_7$ compositions. Si3N4 ceramics from a $Si_3N_4-Y_4Si_2N_2O_7$ composition showed the highest strength of 877 MPa at $1200^{\circ}C$ among the compositions. All $Si_3N_4$ ceramics investigated herein showed a parabolic weight gain with oxidation time at $1400^{\circ}C$ and the oxidation products of the ceramics were $SiO_2$ and $Re_2Si_2O_7$. The $Si_3N_4-Re_4Si_2N_2O_7$ compositions showed inferior oxidation resistance to those from $Si_3n_4-Re_2Si_2O_7$ compositions, owing to the incompatibility of the secondary crystalline phases of those ceramics with $SiO_2$, the oxidation product of Si3N4.Si3N4 ceramics from a $Si_3N_4-Er_4Si_2N_2O_7$ composition showed the best oxidation resistance of 0.375mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ after oxidation at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 102 h in air among the compositions.
