Abstract
Inorganic coating was fabricated on the surface of the porous Si3N4 ceramic by polymer derived (PD) and spraying technology, via using vinyl-polysilazane (PSN-1) as a preceramic polymer and Si3N4 and lithium aluminosilicate (LAS) powders as fillers. The phase and microstructure of the coatings were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The effect of the coatings on mechanical property and humidity resistance of the porous Si3N4 ceramic was investigated. The experimental results showed that we successfully fabricated the uniform and dense coating which preferably combined with the substrate upon the addition of fillers. The bending strength of the porous Si3N4 ceramic sprayed the coating increased by more than 18%, and the surface hardness increased by 1.7 times. The apparent porosity of the materials reduced by an average of 97.7%, and water absorption was below 0.5%. Therefore, the prepared coating with preferable density had an obviously moisture-proof and enhanced effect on the porous Si3N4 ceramic.
