규소/질화규소 비가 자전연소합성공정을 이용한 다공질 질화규소 세라믹스의 미세구조와 특성에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Porous silicon nitride ceramics were prepared by SHS (Self-Propagating High Temperature Synthesis) from silicon powder, silicon nitride powder and pore-forming precursor. The microstructure, porosity and the flexural strength of the porous silicon nitride ceramics were varied according to the Si/Si3N4 ratio, size and amount of the pore-forming precursors. Some sample exhibited as high flexural strength as 162±24 ㎫. The high strength is considered to result from the fine pore size and the strong bonding amoung the silicon nitride particles.
