摘要
Dense Si3N4 + beta-Si3N4 whisker composite ceramics were fabricated by hot pressing powder-whisker mixtures. Addition of beta-Si3N4 whiskers had no significant influence on the densification behaviour for up to 20 wt % addition. Light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to study their microstructure and fracture behaviour. An increase in fracture toughness was observed for beta-Si3N4 whisker additions of up to 10%. The main toughening mechanisms observed were crack deflection, crack branching, whisker-matrix debonding and whisker pull-out.
