Textured silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) has been intensively studied over the past 15 years
because of its use for achieving its superthermal and mechanical properties. In this review …

In this paper, a summary of the development of high‐temperature silicon nitride (T> 1200° C)
is provided. The high‐temperature capacity of various advanced commercial silicon nitrides …

The use of RE 2 Si 2 O 7 materials as environmental barrier coatings (EBC s) and in the
sintering process of advanced ceramics demands a precise knowledge of the coefficient of …

Potential environmental barrier silicates based on rare earth disilicates containing Y, Yb and
Lu have been investigated for their corrosive behavior in a gas stream containing water at …

The fabrication and intergranular‐phase devitrification of silicon nitride densified with rare‐
earth (RE) oxide additives has been investigated. The additions of the oxides of Sm, Gd, Dy …

The high-temperature mechanical properties, specifically strength, fracture toughness, cyclic
fatigue-crack growth and creep behavior, of an in situ toughened silicon carbide, with Al, B …

The flexural strength and creep behavior of RE2Si2O7–Si3N4 materials were examined.
The retention in room‐temperature strengths displayed by these ceramics at 1300° C was …

Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are usually coated on SiC ceramic or ceramic matrix
composites (CMCs), in order to prevent the attack from corrosive media like water vapor and …

Twelve different silicon nitride-disilicate ceramics have been fabricated by hot-pressing
Si3N4 with the oxides of Y, Yb, Ho, Dy, Er, Sm, Ce, Lu, La, Pr, Gd, and Sc that are used as …

The mechanical properties of Si3N4/SiC nanocomposite materials that contained nanosized
intercrystalline SiC dispersions that originated from different starting powders and were …
