The sinterability of three kinds of commercially available nano-sized SiC powders and a treated nano-sized SiC powder was investigated using Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3-CaO as a sintering additive. The commercially available, as-received nano-sized SiC powders were difficult to sinter to a relative density of >95% by conventional hot pressing. The effects of the free carbon and SiO_2 impurities in the starting powders on the sinterability of the nano-sized SiC powders were identical to those on the submicron SiC powders. However, both the extremely high free carbon content and low green density of the commercially available nano-sized SiC powders were responsible for their poor sinterability. The reduction of the free carbon content by oxidation and the control of the SiO_2 content by acid treatment were beneficial for enhancing the sinterability of the nano-sized SiC powder during liquid-phase sintering.
