Abstract
Phase diagrams in the ternaries Cr-Si-N, Mo-Si-N, W-Si-N and Re-Si-N are established. No ternary phase is found. Si3N4 coexist under argon at 1273 K with all binary Cr-silicides but not with chromium, with MoSi2 and Mo5Si3 but not with Mo3Si or molybdenum, with WSi2, W5Si3 and tungsten, and with ReSi2, Re17Si9 and rhenium. At 1673 K, Si3N4 is found in coexistence with Cr5Si3, MoSi2, Mo5Si3, WSi2, W5Si3, ReSi2 and Re17Si9. The implications of these phase equilibria for joining silicon nitride with low thermal expansion metals are discussed.
