Abstract

Progress in silicon nitride ceramics in Japan is reviewed. It is historically divided into three stages. Through these stages, basic experimental research and innovations have progressed along with industrial applications, and the government project on fine ceramics in 1981-1992 has contributed much to the acceleration in the development of silicon nitride ceramics. Focus in this paper is mainly on materials development including raw powder synthesis and exploration for applications. The future prospect of utilizing silicon nitride as an engineering material, however, is seen to depend on cost reduction and reliability improvement.
