Abstract
Crystallization of the glassy grain-boundary phase in a series of sialon ceramics fabricated using a range of hot-pressing schedules increased the thermal diffusivity at room temperature by an average of =lo%. For samples made by a given hotpressing schedule, the relative difference in thermal diffusivity between composites containing a glassy grain-boundary phase and those in which this phase had crystallized decreased with increasing temperature. This behavior is attributed to enhanced phonon scattering in the crystalline grain-boundary phase.
