Creep in Silicon Nitride (Si3N4)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Creep in Ceramics

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 241))

Abstract

Si3N4 has a wide range of applications, such as in: automotive parts; mechanical bearings; high-temperature/thermal-shock-resistant ceramics; orthopedic solutions; metalworking tools; electronic insulators; and diffusion barriers in integrated circuits, to name just a few. The mechanical properties of Si3N4 play important roles in modern technology and industry. The evaluation of creep in Si3N4, is one of the subjects of this chapter performed by tensile and compressive creep tests in polycrystalline Si3N4. SiC-based composites were investigated by flexural and tensile loading of the specimens. A considerable discussion is devoted to cavitation in silicon nitride. Sections of superplasticity, nanosize silicon nitride and stress rupture are integral parts of this chapter. The final section deals with creep recovery in Si3N4.
