Abstract
Over the last twenty years, the processing community has concentrated on preparing finegrained, equiaxed ceramic microstructures. For many systems, it is now routine to accomplish this objective and the related microstructure-property goals. More recently, it is apparent that there is a potentially large number of interesting microstructure-property relationships that remain to be explored. These microstructures, like Si3N4, are based on anisotropic grain growth which results in a self-reinforced ceramic.
