Popis: The transparent β-Si3N4ceramic with a whisker-like microstructure was prepared by hot-pressing at 2000 °C for 26 h, with MgSiN2as an additive. The resultant material achieves the maximum transmittance of 70 % at the wavelength of about 2.5 μm and the transmittance value keeps higher than 60 % in the range of 700-4500 nm wavelength, which is attributed to the very small amount of the intergranular amorphous phase along with high density. The present transparent β-Si3N4ceramic exhibits an indentation fracture toughness of 7.2±0.3 MPa m1/2.
