SiAlON thermal conductivity

With increasing zvalue the density of P-SiAlON decreases linearly, similarly lowering Young s modulus, strength, thermal conductivity, hardness and fracture toughness.30 On the other hand, for low zvalues (z< 1) the hardness and fracture toughness increase and when z > 1 they decrease. It has been also depicted that glass-free microstructures could be obtained in P-SiAlON polycrystals with substitutional level z> 2.31... 

TC-7000, ULVAC Sinku Riko Co., Yokohama, Japan) from room temperature to 800 °C. The thermal diffusivity was analyzed with the ty2 method. The bulk density was measured according to the Archimedean principle using distilled water as the medium. All the experiments were carried out under a flowing argon gas atmosphere. The thermal conductivity (K) of P-SiAlONs was determined by following equation ... 

Figure 4.9 represents the temperature dependence of thermal diffusivity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of the fi-SiAlONs from room temperature to 800 C. The thermal diffusivity decreases with increasing temperature for all of the samples. And with increase in z value, the thermal diffusivity decreases. Our data show higher than that of sintered fi-SiAlON. For all of these CS-SPSed P-SiAlONs, Z2 shows the highest heat capacity, and Z3 shows the lowest data. The thermal conductivity of fi-SLAlONs gradually decreases with the increase of... 

In this chapter, pure and dense P-Sig Al20jN8 2S (z= 1-3) were synthesized by CS followed by SPS without any sintering additives. The Vickers hardness, thermal conductivity, and the corrosion resistance in different atmospheres were investigated for the application as high-temperature engineering materials. In summary, this study introduced an effective method to synthesize pure and dense P-SiAlON materials and showed many valuable property data, which could provide significant references for the application in fields as engineering materials. The content of this chapter is based on the author s doctoral thesis [28].
