摘要:
In the method of invention, the formability is imparted to the slurry of a metal or ceramic powder by employing a porous mold and removing the dispersion medium through the evaporation or thermal decomposition thereof, or by using a silazane oil as the dispersion medium and curing it by heating. Since the phase change usually accompanying volume change does not occur in the dispersion medium, strain and deformation rarely occur in the molded body. As result, the sintered body obtained has high dimensional accuracy.

A method of producing a .beta.-sialon fine powder which comprises using a silane compound represented by the general formula of SiH.sub.x Cl.sub.4-x (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.4) as a Si source, aluminum chloride as an Al source and an ether represented by the general formula of ROR' (R,R'=C.sub.y H.sub.2y+1, 1.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.5) as an oxygen source respectively, dissolving them in an organic solvent capable of dissolving them to obtain a solution, introducing ammonia gas into the solution to produce a precipitates, and burning the precipitates in a nonoxidative atmosphere. In the .beta.-sialon fine powder obtained by the method of the invention, respective elements of Si, Al, O and N are uniformly distributed in a chemical viewpoint. A high density high strength sintered body can be produced even at a relatively low temperature by using the .beta.-sialon fine powder.

A method for refining powders comprising the steps of: (a) adding polytetrafluoroethylene powders to non-oxide ceramic powders to form a mixture by mixing; and (b) heating the mixture in non-oxidizing atmosphere to convert oxides existing on the surface of the non-oxide ceramic powders into gaseous fluorides, and removing gaseous fluorides. The fluororesin is a polytetrafluoroethylene resin. The heating temperature in the non-oxidizing atmosphere is 500.degree. C. to 1300.degree. C.
摘要:
There is disclosed a method for eliminating an organic dispersion medium from a molded product obtained by plasticizing-molding or casting-molding of metallic and/or ceramic powders wherein the elimination is by extraction by liquid carbon dioxide at a temperature not lower than -30.degree. C. and not higher than -31.1.degree. C. The method prevents nonuniform volumetric decrease of the molded product to be otherwise caused by the extraction of the organic dispersion medium, while also making it possible to completely eliminate the organic dispersion medium without causing residual strain or deformation in the molded product.

A method of producing a silicon nitride sintered body which comprises using an amorphous Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 powder having a mean particle size of 5 to 50 nm, a nitrogen content of 30 to 39 wt. %, an oxygen content of 1 to 10 wt. %, the sum of the nitrogen content and the oxygen content being 38 to 42 wt. % and an unavoidable impurities content of less than 500 ppm as the raw material to form a molded body, sealing the molded body in a capsule and treating it with HIP in the range of 1000.degree. to 1800.degree. C. and 1000 to 2000 atm until the density becomes 3.1 to 3.4 g/cm.sup.3. In the method of the invention, active surface energy of silicon nitride powder is utilized as the driving force for sintering due to using a super fine powder. The super fine powder improves sintering ability by uniform mixing. The sintering ability is further improved by substituting a suitable amount of the nitrogen in the silicon nitride with oxygen. By the above means, the sintering strength can be secured under not severe sintering conditions. As a result, a sintering aid can be omitted.
