Fracture toughness of Si3N4 processed by gas pressure sintering and hot pressing

This present work evaluates the influence of microstructure on the fracture toughness of two types of silicon nitride. The two microstructural types of silicon nitride were processed using the gas pressure sintering (GPS) and hot pressing (HP) pathways. The fracture toughness was measured using the...
