Popis: A dense, oxygen-rich Y—α-sialon ceramic, with a small amount of YAG as a grain boundary phase, has been fabricated through GPS (gas pressure sintering). The effect of nitrogen pressure during GPS on densities and mechanical properties of the materials has been studied, which was observed to be relevant to the YAG content. The α-sialon with 2.5 wt% YAG, GPSed under 3 MPa and at 1800 °C, possesses a flexural strength of 500 MPa, hardness (Vickers) of 1816 kg/ mm2 and fracture toughness (K1c) of 3.4 MPa · m12.
