文摘This paper reviewed the effect of powder characteristics and additives including metals,rare earth oxides,and ZrO2 on nitridation of Si powder.The decrease of particle size of Si powder increased nitridation.Most of metal additives inhibited nitridation,while some metal additives such as Fe,Cu,Cr,and Ca increased nitrida—tion.Otherwise,the addition of metals might lead to the degradation of physical and mechanical properties of Si3N4.All the rare earth oxides,especially CeO2 and Eu2O3,showed nitridation enhancing effect.In addition,ZrO2 with small particle size showed a stronger enhancing effect.
