Abstract
Crack-healing behavior of $Si_3N_4$ composite ceramics has been studied as functions of heat-treatment temperature and amount of additive $SiO_2$ colloidal. Results showed that optimum amount of additive $SiO_2$ colloidal and coating of $SiO_2$ colloidal on crack could significantly increase the bending strength. The heat-treatment temperature has a profound influence on the extent of crack healing and the degree of strength recovery. The optimum heat-treatment temperature depends on the amount of additive $SiO_2$ colloidal. Crack healing strength was far the better cracked specimen with $SiO_2$ colloidal coating on crack surface. After heat treatment at the temperature 1,273 K in air, the crack morphology almost entirely disappeared by scanning prob microscope. At optimum healing temperature 1,273 K, the bending strength with additive $SiO_2$ colloidal 0.0 wt.% without $SiO_2$ colloidal coating recovered to the value of the smooth specimens at room temperature for the investigated crack sizes $100\;{\mu}m$. But that with $SiO_2$ colloidal coating increase up to 140 %. The amount of optimum additive $SiO_2$ colloidal was 1.3 wt.% and crack healed bending strength with $SiO_2$ colloidal coating increase up to 160 % to smooth specimen of additive $SiO_2$ colloidal 0.0 wt.%. Crack closure and rebonding of the crack due to oxidation of cracked surfaces were suggested as a dominant healing mechanism operating in $Si_3N_4$ composite ceramics.
