Mechanism of Liquid-Phase Sintering of Silicon Carbide and Nitride with Oxide Activating Additives

Glass and Ceramics volume 70, pages 265–268 (2013)Cite this article

The mechanism of sintering and the particulars of structure formation in liquid-phase-sintered silicon carbide and sintered silicon nitride were studied. The formation of the structure core (SiC or Si3Ni4 grains) – boundary layer (SiC oxide or SiAlON) – intergrain phase (oxides) was recorded.
