Sintering, microstructural, radiographic, and strength characterization of a high-purity Si3N4-based compositionA commercially available high purity alpha-Si3N4 powder (UBE SN-E10) was characterized, milled with additives, and sintered in a high-pressure nitrogen atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 1750 to 2140 C. The composition selected for this study has been previously examined using a different alpha-Si3N4 powder. Densification behavior, microstructure characteristics, X-radiographic appearance, room- and high-temperatures flexural strength, and fracture-initiating flaw sites were determined. The high-temperature flexural strengths significantly exceeded those observed in the earlier studies using an identical composition (different alpha-Si3N4 powder) and similar processing techniques.
