Abstract
Grinding of silicon nitride powder of the PS grade with additions of y ttrium and aluminum oxides in a high-energy centrifugal-planetary mill is studied, where the grinding is accelerated by using balls to 20g a nd 40g acceleration. It is shown that the powder dispersion increases from 0.6 to 10-15 m2/g due to the grinding. The ground powders are ver y active during sintering. The relative density of the material is 97% at 1700-degrees-C and a nitrogen pressure of 1 MPa.
