Nano-composites have excellent properties, such as high strength. This work presents a study on the development of a CaSiAlON nano ceramic and evaluation of its properties. At first, CaSiAlON nano powders were synthesized by carbothermal reductionnitridation from a SiO2-Al2O3-CaCO3 powder mixture in order to obtain a fine and pure raw material for sintering. It was confirmed that the powder product was composed of nano-sized particles. After ground in an alumina mortar, the powder was densified at 1700°C for 20 minutes using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. TEM observation showed that the sintered body was composed of nano-sized grains. Although the fracture toughness of CaSiAlON nano ceramics was lower than that of Si3N4 ceramics, it had higher hardness than Si3N4.
