Abstract

The last 30 years has seen the beta- and to a lesser extent the alpha- forms of sialon developed as structural materials for applications requiring moderate (e.g. <1200degreesC) temperature capabilities. More recent developments have shown the existence of a gamma- (spinel) form of Si3N4 and a wide range of more complex sialon compounds, some of which have potential as both structural and high-temperature materials, but also there is now a widening range of new sialon materials awaiting development for functional applications. A review is given of the current position.
