Oscillatory pressure sintering (OPS) technique was used to prepare silicon nitride ceramics with high quality. In comparison with hot pressure (HP) sintering process, the density, phase, grain size, aspect ratio and microstructure of silicon nitride ceramics by two methods were further investigated. The densification effect of oscillatory pressure on silicon nitride ceramics were studied. The results indicate that the silicon nitride ceramic has reached a complete phase transition from α phase to β phase under OPS process and its relative density has reached 99.82%. The grain sizes of OPS specimen are significantly increased compared with the specimen prepared by HP process. The average aspect ratio of the grains has increased from 3.79 to 4.86 when the fabricated process changed from HP to OPS. Bending strength, hardness and fracture toughness reached 1 333 MPa, 16.2 GPa, 12.1 MPa·m1/2, respectively. Fracture surface energy also increased with the introduction of oscillatory pressure. In addition, obvious deformation streaks and dislocation movement areas are observed through TEM analysis. Obviously, the application of oscillatory pressure improves the densification rate and the growth driving force of grains. The plastic deformation of silicon nitride during the densification process were also found. Thereby, the sintering densification process was accelerated.
