Fabrication of Heat-Resistant and Plastic-Formable Silicon Nitride

In this book, improvements in the heat resistance of silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramics using grain boundary control and in plasticity at high temperatures using grain size control in order to reduce the cost of shaping Si3N4 are described.   The heat resistance of Si3N4 is improved by mixing a slight...
