Popis: The corrosion behaviour of Si 3 N 4 ceramics with constant composition (Y 2 O 3 –Al 2 O 3 additives) but of different shapes – plate, cylinder and ball – was investigated in 0.5 mol/l H 2 SO 4 at 90 °C. The corrosion kinetics were measured using weight losses and thickness of the corrosion layers. The investigation showed that the corrosion depends on the shape of the samples. The differences in corrosion kinetics cannot be explained by the shrinking core mechanism. They are caused by different formation rates of the passivating SiO 2 -rich layers in the corroded materials.
