This work aims at improving the thermal shock resistance of Si
3 N4 -SiC refractories. Si3 N4 -SiC specimens were prepared through two means:vacuum vibration casting and machine pressing, using industrial SiC particles and Si powder as raw materials and nitridation-firing at 1 400 °C for 8 h. The properties and density distribution of the specimens were characterized, and a water quenching method combined with a residual fracture toughness test program was designed to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of the Si3 N4 -SiC refractories. The comparison results indicate that the vacuum vibration cast specimens have better general properties and higher fracture toughness retention ratio, more uniform density distribution and less crack sources than the traditional pressed specimens, hence the vacuum vibration cast specimens have better thermal shock resistance than the traditional pressed ones.
