Non-Oxide Additives As Sintering Aids For Si3N4-Based Ceramics

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article is a review of the selected activities since 1979 in using non-oxide additives as sintering aids for silicon nitride. Emphasis was placed on the work done in the authors' laboratory, and it is shown that ZrN and AIN in combined use can result in producing silicon nitride with good properties.
