Patent number: 7749932Abstract: A sintered product of silicon nitride includes a crystal phase mainly having silicon nitride crystal grains and an amorphous grain-boundary phase located on the grain boundaries of the silicon nitride crystal grains. The grain-boundary phase contains lanthanum, aluminum, magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. The sintered product described above contains 0.1% by mass or more of lanthanum on an oxide basis, 0.05 to 0.6% by mass of aluminum on an oxide basis, 0.3% by mass or more of magnesium on an oxide basis, and 2.5% by mass or less of oxygen. The total amount of lanthanum on an oxide basis, aluminum on an oxide basis, and magnesium on an oxide basis is 3.5% by mass or less.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2008Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Takero Fukudome, Shuichi Tateno, Hiroshi Yoshimitsu, Takashi Watanabe, Tatsuyuki Nakaoka

Patent number: 7250123Abstract: A composite construction 1 is obtained by coating the outer periphery of a core material 2 with a shell layer 3. The core material 2 is composed of a first sintered body that is obtained by bonding, with a binder metal, a first hard particle composed of one or more of carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides of metals of Groups 4a, 5a and 6a of the Periodic Table, or a first ceramics obtained by bonding, with a sintering additive, a first ceramic particle composed of at least one of oxides, carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides selected from the group consisting of metals of Groups 4a, 5a and 6a of the Periodic Table, Al, Si and Zn. The shell layer 3 is composed of a second hard sintered body or second ceramics having a different composition from the first hard sintered body. The ratio of the residual free carbon amount Cin in the core material 2 to the residual free carbon amount Cout in the shell layer 3, Cin/Cout, is 0.5 to 2.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2005Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Hiromi Fujioka, Daisuke Shibata, Tatsuyuki Nakaoka
