摘要
The intermediate state of sintering of boron- and carbon-doped pressureless sinterable silicon carbide was analyzed in situ using analytical transmission electron microscopy (including electron energy loss spectroscopy and energy dispersive analysis of X-rays) as well as high resolution Auger electron spectroscopy. From the results obtained it became evident that any type of liquid phase-even a transient liquid phase-can be excluded. The segregation of boron on the SiC grain boundaries has not been confirmed. The investigations have shown the reduction of SiO2 layers present on the SiC grains and the development of secondary SiC. The microanalytical in-situ results concerning the intermediate and also the final state of sintering as well as the specific roles of the sintering additives boron and carbon are discussed in detail.
