Abstract

The stress relaxation behavior of silicon nitride ceramics was studied. The study took into consideration both the viscoelastic relaxation of residual amorphous phase and the plastic relaxation process of diffusion through the grain boundary interface. The model suggested a convenient way to predict the high temperature creep strength by stress relaxation experiments within a short time period.
