研究了15mol%Y2O3-La2O3热压自韧Si3N4的β-Si3N4晶粒生长对强度、韦伯模量和断裂韧性的影响。在最佳的工艺条件下,其强度、断裂韧性和韦伯模量分别为960MPa、11.72MPa·m1/2和24.5。实验结果表明,烧结温度和时间对β-Si3N4晶粒生长及力学性能有重要影响。随烧结温度升高,其强度、断裂韧性和韦伯模量值上升;超过1800℃,其力学性能有一定下降。过长的烧结时间,将使β-Si3N4晶粒粗大,因而其性能降低。韦伯模量取决于β-Si3N4晶粒尺寸分布和显微结构均匀性。SEM观察表明,裂纹偏转是该材料的主要增韧机制。另外,较大β-Si3N4晶粒的拔出和裂纹分支也对增韧有所贡献。
The effect of the grain growth of β-Si3N4 on the strength, Weber modulus and fracture toughness of 15mol% Y2O3-La2O3 hot pressed Si3N4 was studied. Under the optimum conditions, the strength, fracture toughness and Weber modulus were 960MPa, 11.72MPa · m1 / 2 and 24.5, respectively. The experimental results show that the sintering temperature and time have an important influence on the grain growth and mechanical properties of β-Si3N4. With the increase of sintering temperature, the strength, fracture toughness and Weber modulus increase; when the temperature exceeds 1800 ℃, the mechanical properties will decrease. Too long sintering time will make the β-Si3N4 grains coarser, so its performance will decrease. Weber modulus depends on the β-Si3N4 grain size distribution and microstructure uniformity. SEM observation shows that the crack deflection is the main toughening mechanism of the material. In addition, the larger beta-Si3N4 grain pull-out and crack branches also contribute to toughening.
