Elastic Deformation in Hardness Test and Young's Modulus of Hipped Si3N4
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The relationship between sintering conditions and mechanical properties were examined for fully densified Si3N4 with different, β phase fractions (0.2 to 1). The samples were sintered by a capsule-HIP method with Y2O3 and Al2O3 additives (6 mol% in total) at temperatures between 1823 to 2023 K, under 60 MPa for 1 hour. The elastic deformation was calculated by Vickers indentation recovery. The Vickers hardness reached the maximum value for a β phase fraction of about 0.5, while fracture toughness, elastic deformation, and Young's modulus increased as the β phase content augmented.
