Bonding was carried out in a hot press at 1250°C under the pressure of 15MN/m2 for 1 hour and was cooled slowly in the furnace to prevent the mismatch between the sialon and the steel. Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the interdiffusion and intereaction between the steel and the sialon. The elements diffusing into sialon were illustrated by the Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) analysis where the presence of Fe, Cr, Ni and Mn are significant. The formation of nitrogen pearlite can be described as a result of the reaction between the stainless steel and the silicon nitride component of sialon which release nitrogen. Mechanical behavior of the nitrogen diffused layer was also investigated using microhardness tester and at the reaction layer an increase in hardness was observed. Conclusion can be deduced that the formation of nitrogen pearlite in the stainless steel is quite significant especially on joining sialon to as-received nitrogen-free austenite stainless steel. The formation of nitrogen pearlite could be understood by the diffusion of nitrogen into the stainless steel. Thus, the continuous precipitates form lamellar nitrogen pearlite. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77953106048&doi=10.1063%2f1.3377798&partnerID=40&md5=4337f31ce6278d881bacf98a9dc1cbcd id_number: 10.1063/1.3377798 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1217 place_of_pub: Langkawi, Kedah pagerange: 129-133 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735407602 issn: 0094243X citation: Hussain, P. and Mamat, O. and Mohammad, M. and Jaafar, W.M.N.W.
