Silicon nitride and silicon carbide, the two material systems of most interest for gas turbine applications are both consolidated by two different procedures-hot pressing and sintering. Hot pressing results in a fully dense structure with comparatively higher strength and cost, and limited shape capability. Sintering on the other hand results in a less dense structure with lower strengths and costs, but extensive shape capability.Typical properties are reviewed highlighting differences between these ceramic systems and the metals commonly employed.Recent advances in the state-of-the-art are presented pointing out areas of likely future developments and contrasting these to areas where improvements are most desired.
