Design of Grain Boundary Phases in Silicon Nitride - Silicon Carbide Nano-Composites

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Glass ceramic-SiC nano-composites have been produced by introducing SiC into a Y-Si-Al-O-N glass. The results of these studies have been applied on Si3N4-SiC nano-composites to design the grain boundary phase composition of these composites. It has been shown that the choice of additives ratios and adequate heat treatment can lead to improved mechanical properties of the nano-composites such as wear resistance, elastic modulus, strength, hardness and toughness.
