The automatic crystallization of MgO during the sintering of Si3N4 —MgO —CeO2 is first discovered. For Si3N4 —MgO —CeO2 ceramics, the MgO—CeO2 would react with SiO2 to form liquid at 1450℃ and then transform int...The automatic crystallization of MgO during the sintering of Si3N4 —MgO —CeO2 is first discovered. For Si3N4 —MgO —CeO2 ceramics, the MgO—CeO2 would react with SiO2 to form liquid at 1450℃ and then transform into glassy phase in the sintered bodies after cooling down. Above 1550℃, MgO would crystallize automatically during sinter-ing. So the glassy phase which is harmful to the high temper-ature properties is then eliminated. The present work is of great value for theoretical study and application.展开更多
