Abstract
The work on nitrogen ceramics at the institute is chiefly aimed at developing a technologically feasible process for fabrication of stationary parts in heat engines.
The working procedure involves powder characterization and treatment, development of suitable forming methods, pressureless sintering and testing of mechanical properties.
In the sintering work isostatically pressed compacts of various Si3N4. powders with yttria and alumina sintering aids have been obtained with better than 99% of the theoretical density using the protective powder bed technique. Sintering dilatometry and thermo-gravimetry is used in optimizing the processing parameters (protective powder composition, heating rate, sintering temperature/time).
