N2 - Translucent β-Si3N4 sintered ceramics have been fabricated by using AlN-MgO sintering additives. In the present study, the authors employed AlN-MgO as a standard sintering aid, and investigated the effects of sintering conditions on the translucency of Si3N4. Furthermore, various oxides such as HfO2, Sm2O3, Y2O3, Sc2O3, La2O3, Nd2O3, CeO2, CaO, ZrO2 etc. were used as the sintering aids of Si3N4, and the sintered β-Si3N4 ceramics exhibited different transmittances in the visible region. It was found that the transmittance of sintered ceramics was mainly affected by the sintering additives.
