摘要
The oxidation behavior and microstructure of the oxidized surfaces of RE2Si2O7-Si3N4 ceramics were investigated. The high oxidation resistance of these materials at 1400-degrees-C is attributed to the minimization of amorphous phases via devitrification to disilicates that are in equilibrium with SiO2, the oxidation product of Si3N4. Crystals of RE2Si2O7 grew out of the surface silicate in prefered orientations that were dictated by crystal structure. The morphology of the microstructure of the oxidized surfaces was shown to be partially dependent on the concentration of impurities; the presence of Ca was found to coincide with the growth of Gd2Si2O7 and Dy2Si2O7 crystals with high aspect ratios.
