Review of additive manufacturing and densification ...
Sintering aids used with Si 3 N 4 rely on the formation of ternary eutectic compositions with SiO 2 present on the surface of Si 3 N 4 particles, to assist with densification by liquid phase sintering. A myriad of Si 3 N 4 sintering aid combinations exist and examples are presented in Table 1.Common combinations of sintering aids are presented along with typical weight fractions and the ...
