Silicon nitride ceramics was prepared by super-high pressure using the γ-Si3N4 powders synthesized by the shock-wave technique as raw materials and with Y2O3-Al2O3-La2O3 mixtures as additives at 5.7GPa from 1370K to 1670K. The stability, relative density, mechanical properties and microstructure of the compacts synthesized at different temperatures were investigated. The results show that γ-Si3N4 is completely transformed to β-Si3N4 at temperature from 1420K to 1670K,
and partly transformed to β-Si3N4 at 1370K. Micro-analysis indicates that the typical microstructure of sintered Si3N4 is mainly composed of β-Si3N4 rod crystals with disordered orientation and uniform microstructures. The relative density
and Vickers hardness in the as-sintered (5.7GPa, 1370K) samples are 98.83% and 21.09GPa, respectively.
