Abstract

The quantity and character of intergranular phases in mixed α′/β′ sialon ceramics were examined by low-temperature specific heat and internal friction measurements. Present results of specific heat suggest the existence of a small amount of intergranular glassy phase in mixed α′/β′ sialon ceramics. Furthermore, it can be predicted that the material possesses excellent high strength at elevated temperatures, because the temperature dependence of the internal friction in the tested material is similar to that in the annealed Si3N4 ceramics with oxide addition and Si3N4 ceramics without sintering aid.
