SiC whiskers (SiC w)-reinforced α/β-SiAlON ceramic tool materials were synthesized via
spark plasma sintering (SPS). A comprehensive study was conducted on densification …

Several sialon ceramics compositions were synthesized by selecting metal oxides (MOs) in
the nanosize range as additives in the oxynitride network. Nanosized precursors, including …

The mechanism of sintering and the particulars of structure formation in liquid-phase-
sintered silicon carbide and sintered silicon nitride were studied. The formation of the …

Wettability is the most important phenomenon in SiC liquid phase sintering. This paper
discusses the ceramic–ceramic wetting of E2O3/Al2O3 additives on SiC, where E2O3 is a …

Oxygen-rich SiAlON ceramics doped with various nanosized metal oxide (MO) stabilizers
were synthesized with a view to examine their effect on thermal and mechanical …

α-SiAlONs are commonly produced by liquid phase sintering of Si3N4 with AlN and Y2O3 as
additives. The formation of the α-SiAlONs using a mixed oxide (RE2O3), containing yttria …

This study investigates the effect of micron-sized nickel particle additions on the
microstructural, thermal, and mechanical property changes of α-sialon ceramic composites …

This work analysed the effect of the addition of rare-earth mixed oxide (RE 2 O 3), a solid
solution of Y 2 O 3 and other rare earths benefited from a Brazilian natural ore called …

In this contribution, we report the analysis and interpretation of the mechanical property
measurements for a new class of SiAlON ceramic. The hardness and indentation fracture …

SiAlONs are ceramics with high potential as biomaterials due to their chemical stability,
associated with suitable mechanical properties, such as high fracture toughness and …
