The crack-healing behavior of Si3N4/SiC composite under constant stress and low oxygen partial pressure was investigated. A semi-elliptical surface crack with a length of about 100μm was introduced at the center of the tensile surface by the indentation method. The specimens were crack-healed at 1200°C for 5h under tensile stress (σapp.=200–300MPa) and under low oxygen partial pressure and air ( [Formula: see text] ). The threshold constant stress for crack-healing was defined as 200MPa in oxygen partial pressure over 500Pa. The bending strengths of crack-healed specimens under tensile stress in [Formula: see text] showed almost the same value as a healed smooth specimen, and most specimens fractured outside the crack-healed zone. From these results, we conclude that crack-healing can be achieved under stress in low oxygen pressure and can lengthen lifetime and increase reliability in Si3N4/SiC composite ceramic.
