Abstract
Silicon nitride with a preferred orientation of large elongated grains was obtained by tape casting of raw powder slurry seeded with rodlike β‐Si3N4 particles, followed by a gas pressure sintering under 1 MPa nitrogen pressure. The large elongated grains developed from seeds lay in planes parallel to the casting direction in a two‐dimensional distribution. Increased fracture toughness (11.1 MPa·m1/2) and bending strength (1100 MPa) were achieved in the direction perpendicular to the grains alignment compared to specimens with a random distribution of elongated grains. Morover, the specimens exhibited a high Weibull modulus of 46 due to the uniform distribution of large grains.
