Abstract

Dense SiC with addition of CeO2 was obtained by liquid phase sintering using different additives (Y2O3, Al2O3) and (Y2O3, AlN). The total amounts of additives (Al2O3 + Y2O3) and (AlN + Y2O3) were fixed at 10 mass.% and 10 vol.%, respectively. Two different molar ratios of Al2O3:Y2O3 additives, 1:1 and 5:3, were selected for investigation. Ratios of AlN:Y2O3 were selected as 3:2 and 4:1. Influences of both different ratios of Al2O3:Y2O3 and AlN:Y2O3 and amounts of CeO2 on sintering behaviour were investigated. The phase reaction products were identified by X-ray diffraction and microstructures were investigated using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques. In the samples using Al2O3 + Y2O3 as sintering additives, the CeO2 was dissolved in Y4Al2O9 phase during sintering. The oxidation state of Ce4+ changed to Ce3+ and Ce3+ occupies Y3+ positions, causing increases in lattice parameters for Y4Al2O9 with CeO2 content. In samples with AlN + Y2O3 as sintering additives, Y10Al2Si3O18 and Y2Si3N4O3 were formed in the CeO2-free and CeO2 containing compositions. During sintering, the CeO2 dissolves in oxynitrides via a similar mechanism as in the Y4Al2O9 phase.
