Abstract

AbstractThe ultrafine‐grained β‐Sialon ceramics were fabricated by spark plasma sintering at different temperatures with inorganic Al2O3–Y2O3 and Ti–22Al–25Nb intermetallic powder as composite additives. The research showed that β‐Sialon ceramics achieve two‐stage sintering densification. Al2O3–Y2O3 inorganic additives promoted the synthesis and densification of β‐Sialon ceramics at 1125–1215°C. Ti–22Al–25Nb intermetallic powder diffused Ti and Nb elements at 1240–1425°C, thereby improving the fracture toughness of β‐Sialon ceramics. The maximum fracture toughness (∼9.69 MPa m1/2) under 19.6 N was obtained for β‐Sialon ceramics sintered at 1600°C.
