Abstract

The effect of bentonite addition on extrusion behavior, open porosity, microstructure, and mechanical properties was investigated. The results showed that paste with an appropriate amount of bentonite had a good extrusion behavior. The resultant microstructures consisted of rod-like silicon nitride grains and some intergranular amorphous phase. Furthermore, superior mechanical properties were obtained. Using cheap but effective bentonite as inorganic binder as well as sintering aid is a promising eco-friendly preparation route for cost-effective porous silicon nitride ceramics.
