Influence of additive system (Al2O3-RE2O3 , RE = Y, La, Nd, Dy, Yb) on microstructure and mechanical properties of silicon nitride-based ceramics

Silicon nitride based ceramics have been widely used as structural ceramics, due mainly to their thermo-mechanical properties such as high density, high thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical stability. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of rare earth and alumi...
