Abstract
Abstract In this study, Si 3 N 4 bonded porous SiC ceramics with high strength had been net-shapely fabricated by a new approach. In this approach, we proposed a two-step processing route composed of freeze casting and carbothermal reduction reactions in which carbon aerogels, derived from sol infiltration and pyrolysis, involved. The phase components, microstructures and properties of the prepared ceramics were investigated. The results showed that carbon aerogels with high apparent surface area had been completely reacted and new SiC and Si 3 N 4 grains had been produced. The porous ceramics with flexural strength of 164.3 MPa at 33% porosity and 80.5 MPa at 46% porosity were obtained, whose linear shrinkages were only 1.06% and 1.94% during the whole processing respectively.
