Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/GB95/01037 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 19, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 19, 1996 PCT Filed May 9, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/01236 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 18, 1996Sintered reaction-bonded silicon nitride components, e.g., automotive components, are made by forming a powder mixture comprising silicon and oxide or oxide precursor additives. These additives comprise alumina and a calcium compound. The powder is formed into a preform, the silicon is reacted with nitrogen in a nitriding process to form silicon nitride, and the so-formed silicon nitride is sintered.
