Abstract

The Si3N4/YSiO2N composite in which crystalline YSiO2N was formed as grain boundary phase was fabricated by hot-pressing the mixture of SiO2, Si3N4 and Y2O3. The fracture toughness of this composite was significantly improved, compared to the Si3N4 composites containing Y5Si3O12N or Y2Si3O3N4 as a grain boundary phases. To clarify the toughening mechanism, the microstructure and the crack propagation profiles were observed.
