Abstract

Diffusion bonding of Si3N4 ceramic to itself was performed using Ni interlayer. A flat Si3N4/Ni interface was found at a lower temperature (1273 K). Whereas at a higher temperature (1473 K), a porous zone located at the Si3N4/Ni interface and some petal-like Ni3Si compounds precipitated in the Ni interlayer were observed. The formation mechanism of the porous zone was investigated based on a fracture analysis. An additional stress (σadd) generated at the Si3N4/Ni interface played an important role in the formation of the porous zone, which was resulted from the aggregation of nitrogen during the bonding process. A calculation equation of the σadd was derived to analyze its effects. The results indicated that σadd was directly in dependent with diffusion bonding temperature and dwell time. Copyright:
