以 α-Si3N4粉、Al2O3粉、AlN 粉、Y2O3粉和 BaSi2Al2O8(BAS)粉为原料,采用热压烧结技术制备 Y-SiAlON/BAS 复合陶瓷,研究了 BAS 含量对复合陶瓷相组成、微观结构及力学性能的影响。结果表明:所制备的材料均接近完全致密(致密度〉99%),且生成了长棒状 SiAlON 晶粒,随 BAS添加量增加,α-SiAlON 含量减少,β-SiAlON 含量增加,材料硬度急剧下降,断裂韧性和弹性模量略有降低,添加 10% (质量分数)BAS 的 Y-SiAlON陶瓷具有最高的抗弯强度(775.5MPa)。长棒状 SiAlON 晶粒的拔出及裂纹偏转是 Y-SiAlON/BAS 复合陶瓷的主要增韧机制。
Y-SiAlON/BaSi2Al2O8 (BAS) composite ceramics were prepared via a hot-press sintering method using the powders of α-Si3N4, Al2O3, AlN, Y2O3 and BAS as raw materials. The effect of BAS content on phase composition, microstructure and mechani- cal properties was investigated. The results reveal that all the materials are fully densified (relative density 〉 99%), and are composed of the elongated SiAlON grains. The amount of α-SiAlON decreased and the amount of β-SiAlON increased with increasing the BAS content, resulting in a drastic decrease in the hardness and slight decreases in the fracture toughness and elastic module. The Y-SiAlON/10% (in mass)BAS composite ceramics possessed a flexural strength of 775.5 MPa. The pull-out of elongated SiAION grain and the crack deflection both are the main self-toughness mechanisms for Y-SiAlON/BAS composite ceramics.
