"Industrial Application Field" The present invention is suitably used in a method for manufacturing a silicon nitride sintered body having high strength and high toughness. ``Prior art'' As a method of improving the strength and toughness of silicon nitride sintered bodies, there is a method of dispersing whiskers in the sintered body (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 1983-92180), and a method of dispersing other particles. Method (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1989-1999)
158867) are known, and both of them cause microcracks in the sintered body due to the presence of a substance in the sintered body that differs from Si 3 N 4 in physical properties such as Young's modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion. or residual stress occurs.
It is believed that this increases strength and toughness. "Problems to be Solved by the Invention" However, according to the above conventional method, it is very difficult to uniformly disperse particles and whiskers.
Insufficient dispersion tends to cause defects. Also,
Particles etc. suppress sintering, making it difficult to densify.
There was a problem that if the particles were large, they themselves would become defects and reduce the strength. An object of the present invention is to solve these problems and provide a method for manufacturing a silicon nitride sintered body having high strength, high toughness, and a density of 95% or more of the theoretical density. ``Means to solve the problem'' The means is to crush the silicon alloy, heat nitriding it in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere at a temperature of 1000°C or more and less than 1500°C, re-pulverize it, shape it, and then sinter it at an even higher temperature. It's there. Here, the silicon alloy must contain metals (excluding silicon) in which nitrides can stably exist, such as Ti, V, Cr, Zr,
One or more selected from Nb, Hf and Ta 0.1
~30% by weight. ``Effect'' By heating and nitriding, silicon in the alloy becomes Si 3 N 4 and metals other than silicon also become nitrides. Since metals other than silicon originally exist uniformly in the alloy, nitrides of these metals are uniformly and finely dispersed in the Si 3 N 4 matrix. By pulverizing the powder again in this state, shaping it, and then firing it, a sintered body having an even more uniform dispersion state can be obtained. The obtained sintered body is a mixture of Si 3 N 4 and metal nitrides with different characteristics such as thermal expansion coefficient and Young's modulus, so stress is not applied during or after the cooling process after sintering. microcracks and residual stress occur when These microcracks and residual stress act to prevent the propagation of cracks or change the direction of their propagation.
As mentioned above, since the dispersion state is uniform, this effect works evenly inside the sintered body, resulting in high strength and high toughness. The reason why it is desirable to use an alloy containing 0.1 to 30% by weight of one or more of the above metals is because when nitrides of these metals are mixed with Si 3 N 4 , optimal microcracks or residual stress are generated. It is. However, the amount is 0.1
If it is less than 30%, it will not function sufficiently, and if it exceeds 30%, the strength of the sintered whole will decrease, so it was limited to 0.1 to 30% by weight. It should be noted that the alloy may contain rare earth metals in addition to the one or more metals mentioned above, without interfering with the effects of the present invention. "Example" Si powder with a purity of 99% and metal powder shown in Table 1 were mixed, heated and melted, and cooled to produce a silicon alloy. This silicon alloy was coarsely ground, further ground to an average particle size of 1 μm using a Si 3 N 4 ball mill, placed in a Si 3 N 4 sheath, and heated at a temperature of 1000 in a mixed gas atmosphere of N 2 and H 2 . It was nitrided by heating at ~1500°C. Coarsely grind the nitriding powder and add 6% by weight of Y 2
O 3 and 4% by weight of Al 2 O 3 were added and ground using a Si 3 N 4 ball mill until the average particle size was 0.6 μm.
After rubber press molding at a pressure of 2ton/ cm2 , N2
By firing at a gas pressure of 50atm and a temperature of 1900℃,
Silicon nitride sintered bodies No. 1 to No. 8 were manufactured. For comparison, Si 3 with a purity of 98% and an average particle size of 0.7 μm
Mix TiN, Y 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 with N 4 and add N 2 gas pressure
By firing at 50 atm and a temperature of 1900° C., silicon nitride sintered body No. 9 having the same composition as sintered body No. 2 assuming complete nitridation was produced. Test pieces with a size of 3 x 4 x 40 mm were cut out from the sintered bodies No. 1 to No. 9, and the density, room temperature strength, and fracture toughness values were measured. The strength was measured by the three-point bending method with a span of 30 mm, and the fracture toughness was measured by the Bitkers indentation method. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.

[Table] From Table 1, sintered bodies No. 1 to No. 7 according to the present invention have higher strength than sintered body No. 8 manufactured from pure silicon.
It was found that both toughness was high and that it was strengthened by the added subcomponent metal nitride. In addition, sintered body No. 2 has higher density, strength, and toughness than sintered body No. 9, and the manufacturing method of the present invention is easier to densify than the conventional method and improves strength and toughness. It was found to be effective. "Effects of the Invention" A dense silicon nitride sintered body having high strength and toughness can be easily produced.
