Abstract
An optimized fabrication route for silicon nitride (Si3N4) with low amounts of sintering additives was established. By careful powder preparation, near net cold forming and by a well controlled Sinter/HIP process ball bearing parts with full density, good mechanical properties and a fine-grained microstructure of high aspect ratio were achieved. As a main advantage of this process, no encapsulation is required to obtain fully dense material.
