Abstract:In this study, alumina-based composite with 12 wt% Al and 16 wt% Si 3 N 4 was designed to achieve the synthesis of 15R-Sialon reinforced alumina composite.To investigate the reaction mechanism, two-step sintered Al-Si 3 N 4 -Al 2 O 3 samples at different temperatures ranging from 600 • C to 1500 • C were prepared and characterized via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results revealed that 15R-Sialon was synthesized at 1500 • C through a novel liquid Si phase sintering and Si 3 N 4 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
