Abstract

The oxidation behavior of multi-cation α-Sialons containing Nd and Y or Yb has been investigated for the compositions (Nd0.18Y0.18)Si10.38Al1.62O0.54N15.46 and (Nd0.18Yb0.18)Si10.38Al1.62O0.54N15.46 respectively in the temperature range of 1200°C to 1400°C in air. The grains of silicate containing Nd and Y as well as Nd and Yb were observed in preferred orientation on the surface of the materials oxidized at 1200°C or 1300°C for 20 h for (Nd,Y)- and (Nd,Yb)-α-Sialon respectively. By increase of oxidation temperature from 1300°C to 1400°C, bubble, which was caused by softening of silicate oxidation layer, occurred and glassy phase then appeared obviously. The phases formed on the surfaces of multi-cation α-Sialons during the oxidation were also discussed in this paper.
