The Si3N4/YSiO2N composite in which crystalline YSiO2N was formed as grain boundary phase was fabricated by hot-pressing the mixture of SiO2, Si3N4 and Y2O3. The fracture toughness of this composite was significantly improved, compared to the Si3N4 composites containing Y5Si3O12N or Y2Si3O3N4 as a grain boundary phases. To clarify the toughening mechanism, the microstructure and the crack propagation profiles were observed.

Highly densed silicon nitride ceramics with various α/β phase ratios were produced by pulse electric current sintering process. The β-phase content of Si3N4 in sintered materials varied from 20 to 100 wt% depending on the sintering condition. The microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy and investigated by image analysis. Young's modulus, hardness, fracture toughness, and strength were strongly dependent on the α/β phase ratio. The fracture toughness increased from 4.6 MPa m1/2 for 20-wt% b-phase content to 8.2 MPa m1/2 for 95-wt% β-phase content, and the fracture strength showed a maximum value of about 1.6 GPa at 60-to-80-wt% β-phase content.
