Resumo
O objetivo desse trabalho foi a preparação in situ do compósito alfa-SiAlON-SiC com desenvolvimento de solução sólida de nitreto de silício (SiAlON) durante a sinterização, utilizando o óxido misto de ítrio e terras raras (CRE2O3), fabricado na FAENQUIL, como estabilizador da fase alfa-Si3N4. Uma fração de 20% em volume da mistura AlN-CRE2O3, na proporção 9:1 (mol%), foi misturada a 80% em volume de Si3N4. A essa mistura (Si3N4-AlN-CRE2O3), foram adicionadas quantidades variadas de beta-SiC (entre 0 e 20 peso%). As misturas de pós foram moídas e, em seguida, compactadas por prensagem uniaxial e, subseqüente prensagem isostática a frio. Os compactos foram submetidos a sinterização a 1950 0C por 1 h e sob pressão de 1 MPa de N2. As amostras sinterizadas foram caracterizadas quanto às fases presentes, transformação Si3N4-SiAlON e aspectos microestruturais. Os resultados revelaram alfa-SiAlON e beta-SiC como únicas fases cristalinas. Além disso, não houve cristalização parcial da fase intergranular remanescente, e observou-se que variadas adições de SiC não interferiram na solubilidade e conseqüente formação de alfa-SiAlON, porém o crescimento de grãos alongados de alfa' é inibido em função da adição de quantidades maiores de SiC.
The objective of this work is to obtain in situ alpha-SiAlON-SiC composites, by silicon nitride solid solution development, during sintering, using rare earth and yttrium oxide mixture (CRE3O3) as stabilizer of the alpha-Si3N4 phase. A fraction of 20 vol.% of AlN-CRE2O3 mixture was mixed to 80 vol.% of Si3N4. Different contents of beta-SiC powders were mixed to the Si3N4-AlN-CRE2O3 powder mixture. The powder mixtures were milled and compacted by uniaxial and cold isostatic pressing. The green bodies were sintered at 1950 °C during 1 h under 1 MPa of N2 pressure. The sintered samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, in order to assess the crystalline phases and microstructural aspects, respectively. The results revealed the presence of alpha-SiAlON and beta-SiC as the only crystalline phases present in the material. No partial crystallization of remaining intergranular phase was detected. No alpha-SiAlON solubility variation was observed by the use of different SiC contents, but different grain of a' grains are related to SiC addition in the mixtures.
