Abstract

The effects of heat – treatment on the mechanical properties of AIN – SiC whisker composites with Y2O3 and SiO2 additives has been studied. When the sample containing 10 wt% Y2O3 +SiO2 (Y2O3/SiO2= 1/0. 66) was treated at 1300°C in air for 140 hours the strength of compositqs was raised from 481 MPa to 784 MPa.

The phase composition, microstructure and grain boundary phase structure have been characterized by combining XRD, SEM, TEM/EDXA and HREM techniques. The reinforcement mechanism of the composites results from crystallization of the glass phase in the grain boundary at the high temperature oxidizing atmosphere to form the crossing structure of 2Hδ Sialon fibrous phase and SiC whisker.
