Silicon Nitride in crystal form
HTML3N4 offers two types of crystal structure. HTML3N4 has granular crystal while HTML3N4 has needle crystal. Both three-dimensional networks of common vertices are part of the hexagonal system and both of them can be described as being composed of [SN4] tetrahedron. You can tell the difference by their arrangement of [SiN4]-tetrahedral layered. The hexagonal-shaped ring layers that make up the phase are created by an overlap. These layers consist of six almost symmetrical [SN4] trihedrons along the caxis. In contrast, the phase is formed from two layers with tangible transformation and other non-hexagonal-shaped ring layers. As a phase that can dissolve oxygen across a spectrum of crystal structures, the internal stress of phase is greater that that of its phase. This means that the free energies of phase are higher. In thermodynamics, the stability of the phase at higher temperatures is greater. Because of its low symmetry, the phase is relatively easy to form. At temperatures around 1500, the phase undergoes a reconstruction transformation. The phase is now phase. This transformation cannot be reversed, but the presence of process conditions or quality can make it more effective in the conversion from phase to phase. Si3N4 must be at a lower temperature than 1350 whereas Si3N4 should not be heated above 1500.
Silicon Nitride properties
Si3N4 defines the molecular form of silicon Nitride. Si represents 60.06% while N is 39%. Si3N4 contains a strong covalent relationship between N, Si, and N (of the which the 30% ion bond is not). This gives it high hardness (More Hardness 9), high melting potential and stable structure.
Si-N, silicon nitride, crystal, is covalently bound. This bonding strength is large, making it elastic (4.7105kg/cm2). Its coefficient of thermal expand is small, but its thermal conductivity large. Therefore, this material is difficult to cause thermal stress. It exhibits toughness and high mechanical strength at high temperatures. There is also very little deformation at higher temperatures. 1.5% high-temperature deformation of silicon dioxide ceramic at 2.5g/cm3 (2.3g/cm3 mass) occurs when the load is 23 kg/cm2. Good oxidation resistance and excellent electrical insulation ensure that the silicon dioxide layer is not eroded.
Silicon Nitride has no melting point, sublimates well at ambient pressure and breaks down in the atmosphere at 1900. The specific heat measured at 711.8J/kg. The respective microhardness values for phase and phase are 1016GPa et 24.532.65GPa. This strong covalently bond compound will ensure that there is no liquid phase below its temperature of decomposition (about 1900). Therefore, silicon nitride products can be sintered through the use of oxide additives. These oxide materials promote sintering and include Al2O3, SiO2, etc. The high addition amount may reach 20%. SiO2oxide film that forms on the surface silicon nitride pieces reacts with added oxide. They form a liquid phase which permeates at grain boundaries. This creates high diffusion capability during material movement.
Chemical Safety of Silicon Nitride
Si3N4 possesses a stable thermodynamic properties. Silicon nitride ceramics have a melting point of 1400C in an oxidation atmospheric and 1850C in neutral, reducing or neutral conditions. Si3N4 is oxidized above 800C.
Si3N4+3O2=3SiO2+N2.
When the sample was heavier, it formed a thin layer of silica on its surface. This protected against further Si3N4-oxidation. The temperature reached above 1600 did not reveal the weight gain. Although Si3N4 is easily oxidized in humid environment, it is twice as easy in humid temperatures. Si3N4 powder’s oxidation activation value in water is clearly lower than its counterpart in oxygen and air. Because Si3N4 is able to react through SiO2 films, water vapor may also react with it.
Si3N4+6H2O=3SiO2+NH3.
Silicon nitride resists corrosion and infiltration. Cu solution will not be affected by inert or vacuum conditions. Although Si3N4 is strong against alloy solutions, like nickel and brass, it can also corrode easily with medium and high carbon steels.
Apart from the presence of molten NaOH/HF, silicon Nitride is very resistant to chemical corrosion. Si3N4 interacts with most molten acidic and salt, to help it decompose.
Silicon Nitride can be used in Refractories.
Due to their outstanding high temperature properties (high temperature strength and wear resistance as well as corrosion resistance), silicon nitride cermics have been called “promising high temperature structural materials”. Si3N4 ceramics cannot be made without a strong covalent bond or low diffusion coefficient. This is because the production of high-quality silicon nitride material requires high temperature, pressure, and sintering agents. Because of these constraints in equipment and production costs, it is hard for the metallurgical industries to accept them. The research in the field refractories takes place late so research isn’t as deep. Ceramics are the source of many theories, however there’s not much innovation. In the past silica nitride existed as bonding phases in refractories. The combination of fine powder with corundum, silicon carbide, and other metal Si aggregates was achieved by the nitriding, firing, and subsequent combustion. Ceramic shed plate is a silicon carbide aggregate and part of fine dust. Silicon nitride results from the nitriding Si of silicon carbide to make it. It is possible to combine silicon carbide to produce silicon-nitride bonded silicone carbide material. This material has a much better high temperature performance than the clay-bonded silicon carbide shank plate. It also solves the problem that silicon carbide can oxidize, which causes bulging failure.
