Abstract Silicon nitride ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering, with Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃ as sintering aids, after dry pressing and cold isostatic pressing. The shrinkage and densification of Si₃N₄ ceramics was observed in real time with TOM-AC high temperature sintering equipment. Meanwhile, the densification process of Si₃N₄ ceramics was studied by analyzing the structure and morphology of ceramics sintered at different temperatures. The results show that α-Si₃N₄ begins to transform into β-Si₃N₄at 1 400 ℃. The density increases rapidly in the range of 1 400-1 600 ℃, and the higher the density of compact, the faster the densification rate. When the sintering temperature is higher than 1 600 ℃, α-Si₃N₄ transforms into β-Si₃N₄ columnar crystal completely, and the crystal grain grows obviously, while the densification rate decreases. The compacts density has little effect on the final sintering density. The optimal sintering process is sintering at 1 650 ℃ and 1 800 ℃ for 2 h respectively. The density of Si₃N₄ ceramics is 98.4%, and the hardness (HV₁₀) is 15.7±0.5 GPa. The bending strength and fracture toughness are 1037.3±48.9 MPa and 5.8±0.2 MPa∙m1/2, respectively.
