ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to silicon nitride mould parts, particularly crucibles for use in connection with directional solidification and pulling of silicon single crystals. The mould parts consist of Si3N4having a total open porosity between 40 and 60% by volume and where more than 50% of the pores in the surface of the mould parts have a size which is larger than the means size of the Si3N4particles. The invention further relates to a method for producing the silicon nitride mould parts.
