Problems solved by technology

[0005] The post-treatment process of hot isostatic pressing can partially eliminate defects such as small-sized cracks and pores, but it cannot completely eliminate existing defects, and cannot make up for large-sized cracks and pores, and has a great effect on improving the microstructure of materials. Small, for silicon nitride materials, after sintering, the crystal grains cross each other to form a skeleton structure, and it is difficult to change the post-treatment process of hot isostatic pressing. Therefore, although the post-treatment process of hot isostatic pressing has the advantages of simple process and high production capacity Large, low production cost, etc., but it has certain limitations for the production of high-performance silicon nitride ceramics
