Thermal Properties and Thermal Shock Resistance of Silicon Nitride

  • Chapter
Progress in Nitrogen Ceramics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 65))

Abstract

Heat conduction and thermal shock resistance are important properties for special high-temperature structural applications of Si3N4, such as the all-ceramic turbine. For example, high engine efficiency frequently requires low thermal conductivity in order to reduce heat losses. On the other hand, good thermal shock resistance calls for high values of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity in order to minimize thermal stresses. It is therefore essential that the values of thermal shock resistance and thermal conductivity/diffusivity of Si3N4, and the variables controlling them, are well understood.
