Orthopedic applications of silicon nitride ceramics

Acta Biomaterialia, 2012
Silicon nitride (Si(3)N(4)) is a ceramic material developed for industrial applications that demand high strength and fracture resistance under extreme operating conditions. Recently, Si(3)N(4) has been used as an orthopedic biomaterial, to promote bone fusion in spinal surgery and to develop bearings that can improve the wear and longevity of ...

Silicon Nitride Ceramics

2002
Silicon nitride ceramics is a generic term for a variety of alloys of Si3N4 with additional compounds necessary for a complete densification of the Si3N4 starting powder. They are heterogeneous, multicomponent materials characterised by the inherent properties of the crystalline modifications α and β of Si3N4 and the significant influence of the ...

Silicon Nitride Ceramics

Materials Science Forum, 2008
Silicon nitride is one of the major structural ceramics that has been developed following many years of intensive research. It possesses high flexural strength, high fracture resistance, good creep resistance, high hardness and excellent wear resistance.

Joining of Silicon Nitride Ceramics

1992
The joining of silicon nitride ceramics can be promoted by the presence of reactive elements in brazes or diffusion bonding interlayers. This paper draws attention to the role of Cr and Ti in forming bridging compounds at ceramic-metal interfaces when Ag, Cu or Ni based brazes or Ni diffusion bonding interlayers are used.

Silicon Nitride Ceramic Composites with High Toughness

Nature, 1971
THE brittleness of ceramic materials, compared with metals, limits their use in engineering, in spite of such attractive properties as high temperature strength and oxidation resistance. Possible solutions to the brittleness problem therefore continue to be of interest.

The Role of Nanodispersed Nitrides in the Sintering of Silicon Nitride Ceramics

Plasma Science and Technology, 2010
The synthesis of ceramics based on silicon nitride using nanopowders of TiN and Si3N4 as additives was studied. The ceramic compositions were pressurelessly sintered under nitrogen atmosphere at different temperatures (1550°C, 1650°C and 1750°C) with a heating rate of 10°C/min and a holding time of 2 h. The nanodispersed nitrides (NDN) were produced by

Silicon Nitride Ceramics

2011
The widespread interest in silicon nitride ceramics stems from their desirable physical and mechanical properties in many high temperature and pressure applications [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Good resistance to oxidation and corrosive environments, low coefficient of friction and thermal expansion, negligible creep, and high decomposition temperature are some of
