Zusammenfassung:A method of making a silicon nitride comprising object by use of a low density reaction bonded body is disclosed. An uncompacted mixture of silicon powder and a fluxing agent is heated in a nitrogen atmosphere to react the mixture with the atmosphere to form a body consisting essentially of silicon nitride and having a dimension greater than and a density less than the finished product. The nitrided mixture is then hot pressed to produce a silicon nitride comprising object of desired dimension and density,which material is useful as a cutting tool material for machining metals.
