Degradation of bending strength occurred by corrosion of sintered silicon nitride in aqueous acidic solutions

Three silicon-nitride (Si3N4) ceramic specimens (differing in terms of sintering additive and bending strength) were corroded and tested in 3-mol/L-HCl aqueous solutions at 80°C for 1500 h. The corrosion resistance of each specimen was evaluated by measuring weight loss and bending strength of the s...
