Effect of sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of β-Sialon ceramics with Y2O3‒Al2O3‒ZrO2 composite sintering additive by LIU Zhongwei, YIN Li, XU Zhigang, PENG Jian, SHEN Qiang, WANG Chuanbin

“…The ZrN impurity phases are observed in the samples sintered at 1500 ℃, 1600 ℃, and 1800 ℃ with the relatively low relative density; only the β-Sialon phases are observed in the samples sintered at 1700 ℃ with the uniform grain distribution and few small pores. The best overall performance is obtained at 1700 ℃ with the relative density of 98%, Vickers hardness of 15.15 GPa, fracture toughness of 5.55 MPa·m1/2, and wear rate of 3.75×10–6 mm3·(Nm)‒1.…”
