Description

Nitride-based ceramic material
The present invention discusses a kind of ultrahigh-temperature characteristic that has, the unusual good nitride-based ceramic material of thermal-shock resistance height and heat conductivility.This kind material is specially adapted to as cutting tool material.The present invention relates to Si-Al-O-N type one class nitride ceramics, wherein, the polytype settling of dispersive gives the character of this kind stupalith with active influence.
Existing many articles and patent are described to Si-Al-O-N system (for example " nitrogen base pottery progress " book, F.L.Riley edit, the nineteen eighty-three publication of Martinus Nijhoff press) and added Y 2O 3And so on the facies relationship behind certain oxide compound.Generally consist of Si 6-ZAl ZO ZN 8-ZThe hexagonal crystal phase, 0<Z≤4.2 wherein, known is β-Si-Al-O-N, the crystalline structure of this material and β-Si 3N 4Identical.The general composition M of another kind of hexagonal crystal phase X(Si, Al) 12(O, N) 16, wherein 0<X<2 and the mixture of M=yttrium or other LiCaMg one metalloid and lanthanide or these metals.Other metals with suitable ionic radius are steady its α phase also.Main structure and the α-Si of α type Si-Al-O-N 3N 4Identical.But find,, be difficult to make it to become the part of α type Si-Al-O-N because as if the ionic radius of La and Ce excessive.
Many in Si-Al-O-N system or the M-Si-Al-O-N system have a class formation that can be described as the wurtzite superstructure mutually, in the sort of superstructure, the AlN crystallization.Letter M represents one or more metals, for example Y, Mg, Be, Li or Sc as in the previous paragraph.May comprise that also other have the metal of suitable ionic radius.These phases are many types of as everyone knows, and they come across in the Si-Al-O-N system in high Al and the determined quadrant of high N content, promptly approach the AlN angle.Above-mentioned one or more are generally provided by " many types of " mark later mutually.Multi-structure what belong to good the arrangement, and can return be aforesaid wurtzite basic structure (for example, can referring to above-mentioned that this book).This kind is many types of to have hexagonal or the rhombohedral structure cell mutually, and they are 8H, 15R, 12H, 21R, 27R and 2H by so-called Ramsdell denotational description.In the document, this type of is many types of mutually often according to these denotational descriptions, and for example, note is made the many types of material of 12H etc.
The basic phase analysis of Si-Al-O-N and many M-Si-Al-O-N system already this century the seventies carry out, and existing a large amount of resemble aforementioned that class book.Also had the patent of some application β type Si-Al-O-N at the seventies initial stage, wherein will should be mentioned that for example United States Patent (USP) 3991166 of Toshiba (for example United States Patent (USP) 3969125), Toyota (for example United States Patent (USP) 3903230) and Lucas(especially).Relevant one piece of article the earliest that forms a kind of α type Si-Al-O-N with Li was delivered in 1972, and many other articles are then arranged.Already certainly, the Yt that is related to cutting tool material, formed above-mentioned Si-Al-O-N phase (SHampshire, HKPark, DPThompson and KHJack Nature, Vol 274,1978, P880-882), and pointed out very early that α type Si-Al-O-N brought interests might for technology department.For example, just now three authors (Science, Vo are l.10 at " α type sialon ", 1980, P251-256, HHausnlr chief editor) literary composition, and then in English Patent 2118927A, be described to, the Si-Al-O-N of α type and β type may make by some composition.This patent relate to have α type Si-Al-O-N phase, β type Si-Al-O-N mutually and a kind of glassy phase, the ceramic cutting material of sial oxynitrides type.Many advantages of this material, the advantage in cutting for example according to the present invention, is unexpectedly found to be present in the Si-Al-O-N material that contains multiple crystal formation, and this is never to report in the past and proposed.
Above-described this Si-Al-O-N material can obtain by following technology in some cases, i.e. sintering Si under non-pressurized condition 3N 4And a certain amount of silicon-dioxide, (normally) a spot of Al is arranged in its surface 2O 3With metal oxide, nitride or oxynitride as small amounts of additives.For example oxide compound, nitride or the oxynitride of Y, Ca, Mg, Be and lanthanon etc. or their mixture.This class additive plays a part sintering adjuvant, and and SiO 2(or) Al 2O 3Together, under the sintering temperature of this stupalith, form the molten glassy phase of a kind of height in intergranular.In addition, metal of using of other similar molding glass and so on also can be used as sintering adjuvant like compound.Typical example is to form high molten and high-strength glass thus by the Zr and the Hf of oxide compound, oxynitride or nitride form interpolation.Also have, be easy to heating in nitrogen atmosphere and form the metal of nitride, can be used as a kind of component of sintering adjuvant, for example the quantity of Si, Mg and Cre glassy phase will enough be used for the starting materials of sintered ceramic naturally.In order to make a kind of stupalith have (for example) best cutting character, the quantity of glassy phase must be very little, but can not be little of making this material lose its toughness.
Know that also some metal is the softening temperature of meeting attenuating glassy phases such as Ca, Mg, Fe for example.In order to obtain to have the glassy phase of best high temperature properties, so the content of this dvielement in glassy phase must little arriving, this kind Si-Al-O-N material can not lost its advantageous property, especially used as cutting tool material the time.
Should emphasize that whole compositions of above-mentioned glassy phase no matter be to the densification process of stupalith or to the character of agglomerated material, all can have remarkably influenced.Thereby importantly, considering the working conditions of this stupalith, carefully select sintering adjuvant (or their mixture).For example, add this composition of Mg, will obtain to be easy to handle and can be used as the stupalith of wear parts.But such material will lack good high-temperature character.For a task after finishing, must employing can provide dvielements such as Y, the Zr of Gao Rong, high-strength glass and lanthanon.The various systems of M-Si-Al-O-N phase at last,, can control the formation of other crystalline phases, because it seems and be inequality according to desirable direction by selecting sintering adjuvant.If adopt the mixture of different elements, just can obtain various possibilities.For example, in sintering mix, adopt La and Ce one dvielement, just can have influence on the formation of α type Si-Al-O-N.
Except above-mentioned glassy phase, also can form other intergranular phases, wherein exist metal from sintering adjuvant.In general, these are the silicate or the aluminosilicate of (for example) yttrium mutually, or also contain the similar structures of nitrogen, for example YAG(yttrium aluminium garnet), N-YAM or YAM(yttrium aluminium melilith), b phase (a kind of distortion form of YAG), and the structure phase identical with phosphatic rock.Similarly also come across mutually in the other system that is different from Y-Si-Al-O-N, for example have in the corresponding system of Ca and Be.When other metals are arranged in sintering adjuvant, just other crystalline phases may occur, they have and are different from above-mentioned other types structure.
This rich metallographic phase of sintering adjuvant can continue so that (for example thermal treatment makes its big part change crystalline phase into from glassy phase.Utilize this method, glassy phase is significantly reduced.Existing report in the aforementioned documents, in the metallic aluminium oriental garnet, take this make method that glassy phase changes crystallization phases into reduce the quantity of glassy phase after, can make this material might make high temperature and use, for example as engine parts.In the situation of yttrium, this type of oriental garnet is YAG or b phase.In the Si-Al-O-N material, when planning as cutting tool then always favourable, this is not because the ductile failure of material.
Other character of above-mentioned glassy phase, for example microhardness also can be added the Y of common employing to owing to oxide compound, oxynitride or the nitride with rare earth metal or beryllium 2O 3In and change.This processing is particularly conducive to the high temperature properties of this kind stupalith.
With Si 3N 4With Si-Al-O-N be the material on basis, for example,, the people is paid attention to as aspect the cutting tool material of metal cutting.Si-Al-O-N material as the cutting element material on the market can be divided into two kinds of main types: β type Si-Al-O-N material and hybrid-type (alpha+beta) type Si-Al-O-N material.Why they have good cutting character, it is believed that it is because Si 3N 4The little high viscosity glassy phase that has the toughness produce excellence simultaneously of thermal expansivity.This fact adds the microstructure that causes hot strength and hardness, has formed the important many character in utmost point pass in the cutting application.
Also know, add the key element of titanium nitride or titanium carbide and so on resistant to elevated temperatures hard, can improve the wear resisting property and the thermal conductivity of Si-Al-O-N material, type Si-Al-O-N and a kind of intergranular be mutually mutually or β+α) to contain β type Si-Al-O-N and a kind of intergranular in the sintering structure of this material.In addition, add ZrO 2And Hfo 2One type oxide, expection can be played active influence to some character of material toughness for example.
According to us the various materials of extensive selection are carried out the result of process test, when β type Si-Al-O-N material is used neutralization as some thermostability alloy of cutting at some cast iron, demonstrate good cutting character.When adopting hybrid (alpha+beta) type Si-Al-O-N material, then can carry out machining and obtain good result wider class cast iron and thermostability material.
We have found that, nitrogen and (or) in the higher Si-Al-O-N material of aluminium content, can improve under its room temperature comparatively high temps particularly down hardness and do not bring disadvantageous effect to its toughness.So just obtained to help the good influence of anti-plastic deformation.For example, cutting edge is being exposed under the high temperature, promptly in high rate of cutting and big following time of feed rate, viscous deformation can take place.This viscous deformation causes forming in the cutting edge crackle, and when this crack growth, just can make breaks down.For a kind of β type Si-Al-O-N material, the formation of this kind crackle had been described, referring to " smithcraft (Metals Tech), nineteen eighty-three; 10 phases, the 482-489 page or leaf (Bhattacharyya etc.: the abrasion mechanism during sialon cutter machining nickel-base material ").
The result who obtains according to the present invention has been found that, surprising fully is, if the Si-Al-O-N material that adopts following composition and prepare as follows, the character of above-mentioned cutting tool can also further be improved, contain in the structure of this material the α type with (or) β type Si-Al-O-N and a kind of finely divided many types of mixture mutually.The volume ratio of this many types of phase should be greater than 0.5%, more preferably greater than 1%.Remove this, another kind of advantage seemingly, some character of cutting tool is toughness for example, when there being other rich yttriums β phase time for example mutually, can not be subjected to significant weakening.
The result with the Si-Al-O-N material of many types of phase that check makes according to the present invention shows said magnesium one dvielement that is enriched with mutually.A spot of this element just might have influence on the formation of many types of phase, and magnesium collect suddenly many types of mutually in, the Mg content in the glassy phase just reduces, this is the high temperature properties that helps cutter material.Can expect, even other are unfavorable for the metal of glassy phase, calcium one metalloid for example, also may be melted in this many types of mutually in, and make the tough property improvement of high temperature.
As previously mentioned, have found that the content of correctly regulating glassy phase is to counting for much of using.A large amount of glassy phases can make material too soft, and reduces the mach performance of cutting.The total amount of intergranular phase should be less than the 20%(volume), if the amount of glassy phase is very big, then most preferably less than the 15%(volume).On the other hand, if the amount of glassy phase when sintering temperature very little, just be difficult under barometric point, make the material densified sintering product.In order to form needed α type, β type and many types of filamentary structure, there is a certain amount of glassy phase also still important.Exist bar-shaped type or fibrous crystal can improve the intensity and the toughness of material.Glassy phase quantity during sintering should be greater than the 2%(volume), a part wherein can recrystallize into other rich metallographic phase in mutually at intergranular.When growing α type or many types of material in sintering process, can also reduce a part of original glassy phase, at this moment, in the agglomerated material that makes according to the present invention, the total amount of intergranular phase can drop to the minimum 0.5%(of reaching volume).If improve used pressure in sintering, then the quantity of intergranular phase can be reduced to Schwellenwert 0.1%(volume).
The composition of glassy phase have influence on Si-Al-O-N in mutually aluminium and the dissolving of oxygen.Be difficult to make the composition of dense sintering to possess very low Z value (under barometric point).On the other hand, the material with very high Z value adds for example Y of assisted sintering agent than easy-sintering and can reduce 2O 3And so on content.But, we have found that, for contain β mutually and the Z value approximately greater than the material of 1.5-2, can make toughness be subjected to a certain degree destruction, and this adds and has material impact man-hour for this kind material being used for cutting machine.Its reason perhaps is that β has enlarged when the dissolving of a large amount of aluminium and oxygen is arranged, thereby chemical bond is weakened.In addition, we also are also noted that and consumed by the sex this dissolving of chemically stable, owing to the aluminium displacement that higher amount is arranged has reduced.
Like this, in some metal cuttings is used, people can not get rid of, preferably may be still will be with the material of high Z value.
We find already, and importantly, the Si-Al-O-N material that makes according to the present invention, its total composition drop in the appropriate part in the M-Si-Al-O-N phasor, and top M is a kind of like this metal of for example yttrium of referring to previously.Compare with the composition of commercially available Si-Al-O-N cutter material, in the material that makes according to the present invention, nitrogen and (or) content of magnesium is all higher.The selection of elements Si, Al, O and N amount preferably will make total composition fall into the rich nitrogen and the rich aluminium district of phasor under equilibrium conditions, and this phasor is by defining with lower line segment: line segment Si 6-ZAl ZO ZN 8-Z, i.e. β type Si-Al-O-N phase, and binary phase diagram AlN-Al 3O 3And AlN-Si 3N 4Line segment.But, β type Si-Al-O-N phase region when other metallic compounds of being added with as sintering adjuvant, will move with the quantity of adding metal.According to a kind of so total composition and suitable manufacture method, obtained desirable microstructure and mutually composition, comprise many types of phase.When the Si-Al-O-N material being used for a kind of material that is difficult to cut of mechanical cutting for example during heat-staple alloy, we find that many types of percentage by volume should be greater than 1%, preferably greater than 2%.Adopt a kind of comprehensive composition outside the above-mentioned phasor, can make unbalanced or composite ceramics, this pottery contains many types of phase and Al 2O 3Or many types of phase and Al 2O 3With β type Si-Al-O-N mutually.And in this situation, the percentage by volume of many types of phase should be greater than 1%, more preferably greater than 2%.In any case but the quantity of many types of phase must not surpass the 99%(volume).
In the Si-Al-O-N material of a kind of hybrid-type (alpha+beta) type, improve the ratio of α type to the β type, can improve stability to viscous deformation.When hybrid-type (alpha+beta) type Si-Al-O-N material was used as cutter material, the percentage by volume that we have observed the phase of α type should surpass 20%, and the corresponding of β type is lower than 80%; But preferably the α type accounts for 30% of volume mutually at least, and the β type accounts for 70% of volume mutually at the most.This helps the cutting character of this kind material in some applications, but in order to obtain observed excellent in machinability energy in the material that makes in foundation the present invention, just must have the many types of phase of some amount in its microstructure.Many types of percentage by volume should be 0.5% at least, preferably is at least 1%.When many types of percentage by volume is too big, can damage the cutting ability of this material, particularly abrasion resistance properties.During as cutter material, the quantity of many types of phase should be less than 70%, preferably less than 50%.The quantity that is α type phase or β type phase should not surpass the 99%(volume).
In the Si-Al-O-N material that foundation the present invention makes, add one or more resistant to elevated temperatures hard key elements, when particularly adding nitride or nitrogen oxidation and for example closing TiN, ZrN or cube AlON, can obtain the stupalith that a kind of wear resisting property has improved.In addition, the metal nitride of TiN and ZrN and so on also can improve its sinterability.Add other resistant to elevated temperatures hard key elements and also can obtain similar advantage aspect wear resistance: they are the transition element in periodictable IV-VI family; Aluminium, silicon, boron one dvielement and with carbon, nitrogen and (or) compound of oxygen; Or their mixture, wherein preferably titanium carbide, titanium nitride, silicon carbide, norbide and (or) cuboidal AlON.Add the hard key element percentage by volume be necessary for 2% at least, but more preferably greater than the 5%(volume) and be no more than 60% volume.
Al in phasor 2O 3The composition of preparation can contain many types of phase, AlN and Al in the neighborhood of-AlN juncture when low temperature 2O 3, and under higher temperature, will form cubical AlON phase.But, have volume more than 1%() many types of phase time can improve these character.Under very high temperature or when adding oxide compound, nitride or oxynitride, for Al as sintering adjuvant 2O 3The composition of one junction point also can be found the formation of many types of phase.
Add fibre-like or hard refractory material that must shape, the toughness of ceramic composite is also had very active influence.
The material of this fibre-like preferably with chat in the leading portion and high temperature resistant hard key element or its mixture, particularly SiC, TiN, B 4Fibrous material such as C and TiC.Remove this, Al 2O 3Fiber and Si 2N 2The O fiber also can be used for this kind purpose.The diameter of above fiber or whiskers should be less than 2 microns, preferably less than 1 micron.For the fiber of diameter less than 1 micron, its aspect ratio (ratio of length over diameter) should or preferably surpass 20 above 10.Just because of the very thin class whisker crystal that has Materials with High Strength, could obtain best effect.In order to produce active influence, the percentage by volume of this kind fiber material should be above 1% but less than 50%.
Optimal results is normally at interval 5-30%(volume) in try to achieve, but this scope is according to the selection of filamentary material, about diameter and aspect ratio, changes and can have slightly.
In a word, we find, selected starting material quantity should make the many types of phase that contains in the sintering structure of cutter material, by volume, account for the 0.5-70% of Si-Al-O-N fertile material, a kind of α type Si-Al-O-N that this fertile material contains the 20-99% volume with (or) a kind of β type Si-Al-O-N of 5-80% volume with (or) constitute the 0.1-20% volume a kind of partially crystallizable intergranular mutually, and (perhaps) aluminum oxide.Generally speaking, if the major portion of above-mentioned intergranular phase is a glassy phase, and be under not adding high pressure, to carry out sintering, the contained intergranular of the fertile material of this moment should be 0.5% and be at most 10% mutually by volume usually at least.The structure that sinters into contains at least 1% and maximum 50% the many types of phase of Si-Al-O-N by volume.In addition, hybrid-type (alpha+beta) type preferably by volume contains at least 30% α type Si-Al-O-N and maximum 70% β type Si-Al-O-N mutually.
If the percentage by volume of many types of phase surpasses a certain quantity, when as cutter material, can reduce its wear resistance.In this kind application, this may not be a restriction.Coat very thin wearing layer, just might be used for cutting tool to this class material of the many types of phase of richness.
Can use the PVD(physical vapor deposition) method and CVD(chemical vapor deposition) method, give wearing layer thin on the stupalith coated.On the Si-Al-O-N material that makes according to the present invention, the transition element in IV, V and the IV family and (or) nitride, oxynitride or the oxide film of element aluminum, can both make between rete and the substrate and produce good binding.Particularly when adopting multilayer film, when having the boride, carbide, carbonitride of above-mentioned element or oxidation carbide the most suitable (referring to English Patent 1464022).In addition, it might also be mentioned European patent 83850211-0(Sandvik), this Patent publish: the yttrium thing intermediate coat of the hard borides intermediate coat of III-group or hard, favourable to the Si-Al-O-N material.Said this class film has found that the material that helps making according to the present invention.
The wearing layer that an above-mentioned class is thin helps the material that makes according to the present invention is used for cutting tool, or is used for can making further improved place by means of wear-resistant coating, for example is used for the wear parts material.
It is many types of that to influence mechanism with respect to this kind material character favourable current also not fully aware of, but we know, many multiple phases with wurtzite-type crystal structure, superstructure as AlN or this compound, for example many types of phase, it is little all to have low thermal expansivity, and the thermal conductivity of these phases is then greater than with Si 3N 4The type structure is the phase on basis.In addition, precipitation goes out finely divided many types of material and can strengthen said material from glass.Separating out of many types of phase reduced amount of glass, changed the composition of surplus glassy phase, and also changed viscosity thus.Many types of grain growing causes a kind of significant state or filamentous form.All these states can both have great effect for the following character of this kind material, proneness of react with or the like when these character comprise resistance to sudden heating, toughness, hardness and are reduced in high temperature.
The material that makes according to the present invention is the Si-Al-O-N type that contains many types of phase, and has the superstructure of wurtzite-type, because it has the excellent high temperature properties and the stability of thermal shocking, thereby has a lot of important properties in multiple application.The category of using for example can comprise engine parts, wear parts, and owing to the thermal conductive resin of this material is used as heat exchanger.
Other character of this kind material that makes according to the present invention, for example high resistance add low thermal expansivity and big thermal conductivity etc., also are very important for the substrate material as electronic industry.Require the novel material that comprehensively has above-mentioned each performance when making intensive integrated circuits more.
Knew to have the agglomerated material of β type Si-Al-O-N phase already, its thermal conductivity is in the acceptable scope.For hybrid (alpha+beta) type Si-Al-O-N material, also be like this.But, if the percentage height of α type Si-Al-O-N phase, then thermal conductivity will reduce.Have many types of phase in this class agglomerated material, because the excellent heat conductivity rate of this many types of phase makes material have extremely good properties in this respect more than 30%.For this reason, in as substrate material or the application of heat exchanger one class, the percentage by volume of many types of phase should surpass 30%, preferably be at least 40%.The percentage by volume of α type or β type Si-Al-O-N should be 70% at most, and preferably is at most 60%.If material contains these two kinds of Si-Al-O-N of α type and β type mutually, then their total percentages by volume should be 70% at the most, preferably are at most 60%.The structure that has sintered into also can contain a kind of crystallization phases of partially crystallizable, and it by volume occupies 0.1-20%, if the percentage by volume of glassy phase is big, then it preferably is less than the 15%(volume).This structure can also contain crystalline AlN, and its percentage by volume should be less than 30%, preferably less than 20%.In a kind of like this stupalith near place, phasor AlN angle, the percentage by volume of α type and β type Si-Al-O-N is lower than 10%, and most preferably less than 90%, and the percentage by volume of many types of phase will be higher than 5%, preferably more than 10%.If glassy phase is very big, then the percentage by volume of intergranular phase should be 0.1-20%, and preferably less than 15%.When requiring high resistivity, the percentage by volume of intergranular phase is at most 10% usually under the bigger condition of glassy phase part.If the percentage by volume of crystalline A lN is less than 80%, and the percentage by volume of many types of phase then can obtain to be easier to the agglomerating material greater than 20% o'clock.The percentage by volume of oxide compound, nitride or the oxynitride of the aluminium that exists as crystallization phases is in any case be to surpass 99%.The ceramic composite that Si-Al-O-N is many types of to combine with SiC and form, but owing to very big structural similarity and matching are arranged in that this two class is alternate, and have the character of many excellences.
SiC and the many types of matrix material mutually of Si-Al-O-N depend on comprehensive composition and sintering adjuvant, can high temperature and (or) high pressure prepares down.The feature of these mixtures is that high thermal conductivity adds physical strength and chemical inertia.Thereby, obviously can be used as heat exchanger or some engine parts.But, resistance is very low, thereby the electric substrate of important requirement can not be arranged resistance with work.On the other hand, because electric conductivity is arranged, so can carry out electric spark machine to this kind pottery with a lot of easy and economic means.Why this just will add TiN, TaN etc. and so on resistant to elevated temperatures key element, improves the reason of this class stupalith electric conductivity.
SiC and many types of stupalith or the matrix material mutually of Si-Al-O-N, when the percentage by volume of many types of phase wherein greater than 1% preferably greater than 2% the time, promptly have desirable character.The percentage by volume of SiC must surpass 5%, preferably greater than 10%.The percentage by volume of other intergranular phases, when major portion be crystallization phases and be preferably lower than 15% and the part of glassy phase when accounting for significant proportion just must remain on below 5%.Exist than these two kinds on the α type and β type of low heat conductivity mutually, its total percentage by volume should be less than 15%, preferably less than 10%.And exist percentage by volume up to 95% preferably be no more than 90% crystalline A lN, to the character of this type of synthetic materials and have no adverse effect.
In order to obtain Si 3N 4-SiO 2-Al 2O 3Near the composition in AlN district, or, form certain multi-structure or many types of mixture in-the AlN phasor, preferably AlN is used as a kind of raw material in order to help in the agglomerated material that foundation the present invention makes.The heterogeneous material of having described a kind of special production in the relevant document is 21R for example, can be used as required raw material, might as well be referring to United States Patent (USP) 4113503(Lucas industrial) with English Patent 2118927(Kennametal company).Composition in the present patent application authority in some scope can be made by the starting material of 21R and so on, but because aforesaid reason will recommend to adopt AlN especially specially.But, use AlN must take anhydrous grinding system, this requirement to lubricant and breaking method just occurred.For all compositions in the scope of the invention are all meeted the requirements, yet require above-mentioned dry powder with respect to (for example) aluminum oxide that adds this system to (the alumina lap body has been adopted in supposition in shredder), have consistent composition, silicon-dioxide then places on the surface of silicon nitride.Adopt the AlN Ginding process that many advantages are obviously arranged.Add Si 3N 4Behind the used starting material of AlN and so on, necessary oxide compound just can be consistent with the oxide impurity in the above nitride in the stupalith.
According to top described, the material that can understand fully various Si-Al-O-N types is to produce required character in which way haply.Listed some in the table 1 and formed example to illustrate aforesaid various character.The method of making is that different raw materials is ground with lubricant.If the employing ball mill then needs the milling time of 1-3 day.Afterwards, with ground raw material drying, be crushed to the powder shape with good fluidity, this is very important for the operation that is pressed into desired shape later on.Sintering is finished by a kind of like this mode in rich nitrogen atmosphere, the trend that promptly stops silicon nitride to decompose as much as possible.Temperature is 1700-1860 ℃, partly depends on the pressure that adopts in the stove.
