Abstract |
The mechanical properties of liquid phase sintered (LPS) SiC materials, with the addition of oxide powder, were investigated, in conjunction with a detailed analysis of their microstructures. LPS-SiC materials were fabricated at a temperature of 1820 $^{circ}C$ under an argon atmosphere, using three different starting sizes of SiC particles. The sintering additive for the fabrication of the LPS-SiC materials was an $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ mixture with a constant composition ratio ($Al_2O_3/Y_2O_3$: 1.5). The particle sizes of the commercial SiC powderswere 30 nm, 0.3 $mu$m, and 3.0 $mu$m. The flexural strength of the LPS-SiC materials was also examined at elevated temperatures. A decrease in the starting size of the SiC particles led to an increase in the flexural strength of the LPS-SiC materials, accompanying a highly dense morphology with the creation of a secondary phase. Such a secondary phase was identified as $Y_3Al_2(AlO_4)2$. The flexural strength of the LPS-SiC materials greatly decreased with an increase in the test temperature, due to the creation of a large amount of pores. |
