Fatigue, creep and fracture behavior of silicon nitride ceramics

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Significant progress has been made in developing silicon nitride structural ceramics for heat engine applications due to their excellent high temperature mechanical properties. Pure uniaxial tensile tests were conducted at room and at elevated temperatures on hot isostatically pressed and sintered silicon nitride ceramics. The tensile strength of these materials dropped significantly after 1000 °C, especially in sintered silicon nitride ceramics. Tensile creep tests were performed at 1200° and 1300 °C and indicate that the steady state creep rate was influenced by both temperature and applied stress. Recycling also improved the high temperature tensile strength of sintered silicon nitride ceramics.
