Abstract

Porous Si3N4 ceramics were prepared via partial nitridation and self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) process. Raw Si and additive Y2O3 were mixed and molded under 10 MPa into a compact, the compact was partial nitridation at 1300 °C to form a porous Si/Si3N4, and then it was buried in a Si/Si3N4 bed for SHS to obtain porous Si3N4 with rod-like β-Si3N4 morphology. The processing combined the advantages of the nitridation of Si and SHS with low cost, low shrinkage and time saving. Porous Si3N4 with a porosity of 47%, a strength of 143 MPa were obtained by this method.
