Abstract
The development of reaction bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) led to a wide use of this material in structural applications at high temperatures. Because of the porosity of about 20 vol % and the resulting low mechanical strength, however, these applications are often restricted. To improve strength, the microstructure must be optimised and/or the total porosity must be reduced.
