Abstract

Cubic silicon nitride (γ-Si3N4) is superhard and one of the hardest materials after diamond and cubic boron nitride (cBN), but has higher thermal stability in an oxidizing environment than diamond, making it a competitive candidate for technological applications in harsh conditions (e.g., drill head and abrasives). Here, we report the high-pressure synthesis and characterization of the structural and mechanical properties of a γ-Si3N4/Hf3N4 ceramic nanocomposite derived from single-phase amorphous Si-Hf-N precursor. The synthesis of the γ-Si3N4/Hf3N4 nanocomposite is performed at ~20 GPa and  ca. 1500 °C in a large volume multi anvil press. The structural evolution of the amorphous precursor and its crystallization to γ-Si3N4/Hf3N4 nanocomposites under high pressure is assessed by in situ synchrotron energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements at ~19.5 GPa in the temperature range from ca. 1000-1900 °C. The fracture toughness of the two-phase nanocomposite amounts ~6/6.9 MPa·m1/2 and is about 2 times that of single-phase γ-Si3N4, while its hardness of ca. 30 GPa remains high. This work provides a reliable and feasible route for the synthesis of advanced hard and tough γ-Si3N4-based nanocomposites with excellent thermal stabililty.
新型高压γ-Si 3n4 /Hf 3n4陶瓷纳米复合材料
立方氮化硅(γ-Si3N4)是超硬材料,是仅次于金刚石和立方氮化硼(cBN)的最硬材料之一,但在氧化环境中具有比金刚石更高的热稳定性,使其成为苛刻条件下(例如钻头和磨料)技术应用的竞争候选人。本文报道了由单相非晶Si-Hf-N前驱体衍生的γ-Si3N4/Hf3N4陶瓷纳米复合材料的高压合成及其结构和力学性能的表征。γ-Si3N4/Hf3N4纳米复合材料的合成在~20 GPa和 ca下进行。1500°C在大容量多顶压机。在约1000 ~ 1900℃的温度范围内,采用同步能量色散x射线衍射在~19.5 GPa下测量了非晶态前驱体在高压下的结构演变及其向γ-Si3N4/Hf3N4纳米复合材料的结晶过程。两相纳米复合材料的断裂韧性约为6/6.9 MPa·m1/2,约为单相γ-Si3N4的2倍,但硬度仍保持在约30 GPa的高水平。本工作为合成具有优异热稳定性的高级硬韧性γ- si3n4基纳米复合材料提供了一条可靠可行的途径。
