Inclusion ma-terials selected based on applicable green and sintered inclu-sion that is desired to

16、be investigated for a specific siliconnitride or silicon carbide application.6.2.1 The size, shape, and composition of the inclusionsshall be determined a priori before seeding. The inclusionparticles must be carefully selected based on the ceramicsystem of interest and the purpose of the test sampl

17、es.6.2.1.1 Samples fabricated to determine the sensitivity andresolution of the NDE test method should have inclusions thatrepresent the type that would be encountered in actual appli-cations. The selection of the inclusion type should reflect thepossible impurities that are commonly seen after proc

18、essingand that are present in the raw material.6.2.1.2 Test samples being fabricated for NDE calibrationstandards may require the use of inclusion particles withwell-defined properties (that is, geometry, density, modulus,composition, etc.). Such particles may be chosen to be excep-tionally stable d

19、uring sample fabrication.7. Fabrication of Internal Seeded Inclusions7.1 For Green Specimens:7.1.1 The test piece geometry must be appropriate for thesize and geometry limits of the NDE test method. If thepurpose of the test is to determine if the NDE method issuitable for the detection of inclusion

20、s in a particular part/sample, ideally the test sample should be identical to thepart/sample. If this is not feasible due to fabrication or testinglimitations, the test sample should be similar to the part/samplein chemical composition, density, and thickness (the thicknessof the test sample should

21、be the same as the thickness in thearea of the part/sample being examined).7.1.2 Procedure:7.1.2.1 Prepare test specimen bars by pouring powder into adie in an amount to position the inclusions at the desireddistance from the specimen surfaces. If the inclusions to beseeded are less than 200 m in di

22、ameter, level the surface andpress at 60 MPa to facilitate positioning of the inclusions.Pressing is not necessary if the diameter will be greater.7.1.2.2 Remove the ram to expose the specimen. Clean thespecimen of all particles that are not flush with the top surface;this can generally be done with

23、 a moisture-free aerosol duster.7.1.2.3 Place large inclusions in the desired location on thespecimen surface. Small inclusions may be moved to thedesired position with a single human hair taped to a stiff plasticrod with the assistance of an optical magnifier.7.1.2.4 Press the inclusions into the s

24、urface at a pressure of60 MPa to hold them in position.7.1.2.5 Record the positions of the inclusions photographi-cally using a CCD camera attached to a stereo microscope orother suitable imaging equipment depending on the size of theinclusions used.7.1.2.6 Add ceramic powder of a sufficient amount

25、toseparate the adjacent layers of inclusions. If this is the finallayer of powder, press to provide handling strength to the greencompact (nominally 120 MPa); otherwise press at 60 MPa andrepeat 7.1.2.2-7.1.2.5 through until the desired number ofinclusion layers are obtained.7.1.2.7 After final pres

26、sing, remove the specimen from thedie and place into thin-wall latex tubing, evacuate the air, andseal the end. Cold isopress at 420 MPa or a pressure mostsuitable for specific material.7.1.2.8 Remove the specimen from the tubing and heat to asufficient temperature to decompose the binder if it has

27、beenadded for powder compaction assistance.7.1.2.9 Mark the specimen orientation with a scribe mark orby beveling a corner or edge. Remove extraneous particlesfrom all surfaces with an aerosol duster or brush (adherentparticles may require light sanding).7.1.2.10 Measure bulk density of the specimen

28、 from directvolume and weight measurements.7.2 For Sintered Specimens:7.2.1 Procedure:7.2.1.1 Follow steps in 7.1.2 to produce green specimens.7.2.1.2 Sinter green samples under suitable conditions toachieve full densification. Nominal sintering conditions forsilicon nitride are: 1700 to 1900C for1h

29、inaninertatmosphere at 0 to 200 MPa; for silicon carbide, sinteringtemperatures of 2000 to 2200C for 0.5 h under vacuum arecommonly used. The sintering aids used will dictate the firingconditions. Measure bulk density using a method referenced in2.1 (Test Methods B 331 and C 373) or from volume andw

30、eight measurements.7.3 Sintered Inclusion Characteristics:7.3.1 For Silicon Nitride Test BarsMany inclusions reactwith silicon nitride powder and sintering aid powders duringdensification, potentially resulting in chemical and structuralchanges to the inclusion and possibly resulting in a reactionzo

31、ne different in size from the size of the original inclusionbefore densification. For example, iron inclusions can reactwith free silica in the silicon nitride powder during densifica-tion to form iron silicide, with a larger resulting reaction zonethan the original iron inclusion size. The dimensio

32、ns of theinclusion may increase by 50 %. The final dimensions of theinclusion are affected by the environmental conditions withinthe furnace, cooling rates, soak times, etc. Thus, the effectdensification has on inclusions in silicon nitride should beknown a priori to ensure correct interpretation of

33、 results.7.3.2 For Silicon Carbide Test BarsMany inclusions mayalso react with the SiC powder and some of the sintering aidpowders during densification. This reaction may result instructural and chemical changes to the inclusion causing thedimensions of the inclusion to be different than that of the

34、original. The reactivity of the inclusion with the SiC powdersor additives should be understood for proper interpretation ofthe results.8.
