Nd-α-sialons with the stoichiometric composition of Nd_(0.333)Si_(10)Al_2ON_(15) were obtained by hot-press sintering at 1800℃ for lh. The thermal shock behavior of the Nd-α-sialons was examined by a water-quenching technique. The influence of the thermal shock temperature difference (ΔT) and cycle times on the residual strength was evaluated. Equiaxed a-sialon grains formed together with a small amount of intergranular phase M' (Nd_2Si_(3-x)Al_xO_(3+x)N_(4-x)) and β-sialon phase. The residual strength after a thermal shock tended to decrease gradually with increasing ΔT above 500℃. However, the specimens exhibited an improved residual strength (~94% of the room temperature strength) after a thermal shock of ΔT=1100℃. The residual strength presented a gradual decrease with increasing the thermal shock cycle times at ΔT=1100℃, and was still remained ~55% of the room temperature strength after 11-time cycle. It is contributed to the surface oxidation which may results in the healing of surface cracks and the generation of surface compressive stresses.
