Abstract

Micro-nano-structured Si3N4/SiC-composites were prepared by liquid phase sintering of either amorphous, polymer derived Si-C-N powder or SiC1+x coated OC-Si3N4 powder, followed by gas pressure sintering. The obtained microstructures were investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). Nanosized SiC inclusions embedded in microcrystalline Si3N4 grains were analysed by elemental mapping with electron spectroscopie imaging (ESI).
