[0065] In a specific embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, the proportions of the components of the sintering aid for preparing SiC ceramics are shown in the following Table 1:

[0066] Table 1 Proportion table of sintering aid

[0067] Serial number Name Chemical formula Mass proportion (wt. %) 1 Lanthanum oxide La2O3 45 2 Silicon dioxide SiO2 40 3 Magnesium oxide MgO 2 4 Sodium carbonate Na2CO3 2.5 5 Calcium oxide CaO 2 6 Strontium carbonate SrCO3 6 7 Yttrium oxide [Y2O3] 2.5

[0068] The sintering aid for preparing SiC ceramics provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages compared with other types of sintering aids:
