Abstract

Abstract: Two kinds of Si₃N₄ starting powders with different α/β ratios were used to prepare
Ca-α-Sialon with the composition Ca_1.8Si_6.6Al_5.4O_1.8N_14.2 by pressureless sintering. The densification process, reaction
sequence and microstructure of the corresponding materials were studied by XRD analysis and SEM observation. Elongated α-Sialon grains were observed in the materials sintered
with either Si₃N₄ starting powders. On the other hand, Si₃N₄ starting powders with high β phase content resulted in poorer densification
during sintering and the temperature for complete dissolution of β-Si₃N₄ was 100℃ higher than that for α-Si₃N₄. The higher the content of β phase in the starting powders, the fewer nucleation sites there were, and the coarser α-Sialon grains were.
A broad size distribution of the Si₃N₄ starting powders led to the inhomogeneity of α-Sialon grain sizes.

Key words: Ca, α-Sialon, phase formation, microstructure
