Abstract
Dense Si3N4-TiN composites with 20-50 wt% TiN with various grain sizes were produced by hot pressing and gas-pressure sintering under nitrog en gas atmosphere. The dependence of the densification behaviour on th e TiN content and on the grain size of TiN was investigated. Starting from the thermodynamical considerations the influence of the C-content in the Ti(C,N) on the densification was analysed and tested by experi ment.
