The samples before and after the treatment were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, and the formation mechanism of SiO;was investigated. The results show that SiO;in the Fe-Si;N;is mainly located on the surface or around the Si;N;particles in dense areas, existing in both crystalline and amorphous states; when the FeSi75 particles, which are less than 0.074 mm in size, fell in up-flowing hot N;stream, trace oxygen in the N;stream did not significantly hinder the nitridation of FeSi75 particles as it was consumed by the surface oxidation of the generated Si;N;particles to form SiO;. At the reaction zone, the oxidation of Si;N;particles decreased the oxygen partial pressure in the N;stream and greatly reduced the opportunity for FeSi75 particles to be oxidized into SiO;; by virtue of the SiO;film developed on the surface, the Si;N;particles adhered to each other and formed dense areas in the material.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） micrographs showed that the obtained precursor exhibited a uniform mixture of SiO2 ＋ C composed of porous blocky particles up to -20 μm. The precursor was subsequently calcined under nitrogen at 1200-1550℃ for 2 h. X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis revealed that the initial reduction reaction started at about 1300℃, and the complete transition of SiQ into Si3N4 was found at 1550℃. The Si3N4 powders, synthesized at 1550℃, exhibit a mixture phase of α- and -Si3N4 and consist of mainly agglomerates of fine particles of 100-300 nm, needle-like crystals and whiskers with a diameter of about 100 nm and a length up to several micrometers, and a minor amount of irregular-shaped growths.展开更多

The results showed that at 1127.2℃ the Fe-silicon nitride self-reacts and releases N2 and under 101.3 kPa the volume of N2 given out in the course of the reaction is 20 times more than that of the starting material. N2 is produced quickly, and completes in several decade seconds. With the producing of N2, the structure of Silicon Nitride around Fe becomes loose and porous, or cracks are formed by the reaction between Fe and silicon nitride. So if it is made use of that Fe-silicon nitride self-producing N2 at the high temperature, the performance of the material on a base of Fe-silicon nitride could be greatly improved.展开更多

The CSed powders were then sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS) to obtain dense bulk MgSiN2 product. Analysis of the CSed powder using X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed single-phase MgSiN2 was obtained by CS method. However, the CSed product can be divided into three distinct parts according to its color. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation revealed the grain size and crystallinity decrease gradually from the center to the outer layer. Some small grains clustered together to form larger particles, and there were a large number of pores among the clusters. The grain size seemed increasing with the increase of nitrogen pressure. The bulk density of CS-SPSed MgSiN2 was 3.11 g/cm3, Vickers hardness was 1673.1 kgf/mm2, and thermal diffusivity was 8.718E−2 cm2/s.展开更多

Higher percentages of α-Si3N4 content were obtained in large size cakes in SHS with hydrogen and ammonia than those with argon. Effect of the auxiliary gases for combustion synthesis of Si3N4 on a phase content, on phase transformation of α-Si3N4 to β-Si3N4 in SHS Si3N4 and on oxygen content in SHS Si3N4 were investigated.展开更多

The results indicate that α-SiaN4 crystals exist only in the Fe-Si3N4 dense areas. When FeSi75 particles react with N2, which generates substantial heat, a large number of Si solid particles evaporate. The product between Si gas and N2 is a mixture of α-Si3N4 and β-Si3N4. At the later stage of the flash combustion process, α-Si3N4 crystals dissolve and reprecipitate as α-Si3N4 and the β-Si3N4 crystals grow outward from the dense areas in the product pool. As the temperature decreases, the α-SiaN4 crystals cool before transforming into β-SiaN4 crystals in the dense areas of Fe-Si3N4. The phase composition of flash-combustion-synthesized Fe-SiaN4 is controllable through manipulation of the gas-phase reaction in the early stage and the α→β transformation in the later stage.展开更多

文摘The state and formation mechanism of α-Si3N4 in Fe-Si3N4 prepared by flash combustion were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that α-SiaN4 crystals exist only in the Fe-Si3N4 dense areas. When FeSi75 particles react with N2, which generates substantial heat, a large number of Si solid particles evaporate. The product between Si gas and N2 is a mixture of α-Si3N4 and β-Si3N4. At the later stage of the flash combustion process, α-Si3N4 crystals dissolve and reprecipitate as α-Si3N4 and the β-Si3N4 crystals grow outward from the dense areas in the product pool. As the temperature decreases, the α-SiaN4 crystals cool before transforming into β-SiaN4 crystals in the dense areas of Fe-Si3N4. The phase composition of flash-combustion-synthesized Fe-SiaN4 is controllable through manipulation of the gas-phase reaction in the early stage and the α→β transformation in the later stage.
