The Effect of a Transient Liquid Phase Addition on theα-TOβ-Silicon Nitride Transformation in Celsian-Silicon Nitride Composites

Kirk A. Rogers, Ken H. Sandhage

Abstract

Transient liquid phase processing has been used to convert α-to β-Si3N4 at 250 °C lower than the melting point of Celsian (BAS). Significant conversion to β-Si3N4 was observed, although large, aspected grains of β-Si3N4 were not due to the viscous nature of the BGS liquid at the sintering temperatures investigated.
