Abstract

Preliminary results on microwave sintering of seeded silicon nitride show that a well defined bi-modal grain size distribution is attainable in Si3N4-Y2O3-Al2O 3-MgO sintered bodies by microwave sintering at 28 GHz of materials seeded with ß-Si3N4 particles (2 vol. %). A positive effect on the mechanical performance is anticipated for these microstructurally controlled silicon nitride ceramics
