Abstract

A process for preparing beta-Si3N4 whisker by high-temp self-spread synthesis includes mixing Si powder with alpha-Si3N4 powder in a ratio of (5-9):(1-5), adding whisker growing aid, loading in porous graphite crucible with inner surface coated with boron nitride, igniting the raw materials, and reaction in nitrogen atmosphere under 3-10 MPa for 2-10 min. Its advantages are 7-10 of length/diameter ratio, complete structure and smooth surface of crystal, no environmental pollution, and high yield (near 100%).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to β-Si 3 N 4 Method for the preparation of whiskers, especially β-Si by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) 3 N 4 The whisker method belongs to the field of ceramic powder preparation. Background technique [0002] Due to its high temperature strength, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, light weight and other advantages, ceramic materials have been successfully applied in aerospace, metallurgy, electronics, automotive engine parts and other fields, but the brittleness of ceramic materials It is an Achilles' heel, and once a crack is generated, it is easy to expand, resulting in catastrophic fracture. In order to improve the toughness of ceramic materials, researchers at home and abroad have done a lot of work in this area, such as particle dispersion toughening, phase transformation toughening, fiber or whisker reinforcement and toughening. Among them, the effect of whis...
