Abstract
Flexure testing was used to determine the effects of sodium sulfateinduced corrosion on the static fatigue life of two silicon nitride ceramics at 1000°C. The results show that the static fatigue life of the MgO-doped silicon nitride is significantly reduced when Na2SO4 is introduced. Conversely, the static fatigue life of the Y2O3 + A1203- doped silicon nitride is increased in the presence of Na2SO4.
