Abstract

The invention provides a silicon nitride ceramic ball and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of ceramic materials. According to the invention, a vacuum injection-coagulation forming method is adopted, so that the forming of large-size and oversized silicon nitride ceramic balls with high sphericity degree and uniform density can be realized. Microwave drying is adopted, the drying speed is high, and deformation of a green body is small. According to the invention, the cold isostatic pressing treatment is carried out on the degummed ceramic balls, so that the compactness of the sintered ceramic balls is improved. A two-step air pressure sintering process is adopted, so that internal air holes of the ceramic ball can be removed, and the density can be further improved. According to the invention, the surfaces and the core parts of the large-size and oversized silicon nitride ceramic balls prepared by adopting the method of combining injection coagulation forming with cold isostatic pressing forming and two-step air pressure sintering have no obvious difference in properties such as relative density, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness. Homogenization of density and mechanical properties of large-size and oversized silicon nitride ceramic balls can be realized.
