Abstract
This invention is about SiALON ceramics comprising an alpha SiAlON, a beta SiAlON and an intergranular amorphous and/or crystalline phase. Said alpha SiALON phase was prepared from a multi-cationic mixture including the element of calcium, at least one of yttrium and/or a rare earth element with atomic number greater than 62 and at least one of a rare earth element with atomic number equal or smaller than 62. The second phase, beta SiALON contains elements of Si, Al, O, N. The third phase, amorphous and/or crystalline intergranular phase contains in addition to elements of Si, AL, O, N, element of calcium, at least one of yttrium and/or a rare earth element with atomic number greater than 62 and at least one of a rare earth element with atomic number equal or smaller than 62. This material with its toughness, high fracture resistance and high temperature resistance is useful for cutting tool applications and components in machinery and engines.
