Abstract

Submicrometer-sized α-SiC powder was mixed in an aqueous solution at pH 5.0 with the following Al2O3 (1-2 vol% against SiC)-Y2O3 (0.94-1.6 vol%) sintering additives: sample A-Al2O3 powder plus Y2O3 powder, sample B-Al2O3 powder plus Y2O3 powder and polyacrylic acid dispersant, sample C-Al2O3 powder plus Y3+ ion adsorbed and sample D-Y3+ ion adsorbed. The prepared suspensions were consolidated by filtration through a gypsum mold. Green compacts were densified to a 96.2-99.3% relative density at 1800-1950°C under a pressure of 39 MPa for 2 h in an Ar or reduced atmosphere. The sinterability of SiC became higher in the following order: sample D<sample C<sample A≈sample B. The sinterability of samples A and B was comparable to that of SiC hot-pressed with Al2O3. Dense SiC with Y2O3 or Al2O3 plus Y2O3 showed the following excellent mechanical properties: average four-point flexural strengths of 565-719 MPa, fracture toughness of 5.0-6.2 MPa•m1/2, Weibull modulus of 5.4-11.4 and Vickers hardness of 19-22 GPa. Suppression of grain growth in SiC enhanced the mechanical properties.<br>
