Abstrakt: The dispersion behaviour of Si + SiC (3:1 by weight, 3Si. SiC) mixtures in deionised water was examined as a function of pH by studying their sedimentation and rheological behaviour. An aqueous slip of 72 wt% solid loading of 3Si. SiC was cast to produce green bodies having −65% of theoretical density which when nitrided resulted in SiC particle reinforced reaction bonded silicon nitride (SiCp-RBSN) composites. The products were characterized for percent nitridation, nitrided density, apparent porosity, microstructure and 3-point flexural strength.
