The oxidation behavior of NBD 200 Si 3 N 4 containing 1 wt% MgO sintering aid was investigated in oxygen at 900°‐1300°C. The oxide growth followed a parabolic rate law with an apparent activation energy of 260 kJ/mol. The oxide layers were enriched with sodium and magnesium because of outward diffusion of intergranular Na + and Mg 2+ cations in the ceramics. The 2‐4 orders of magnitude higher oxidation rate for NBD 200 Si 3 N 4 than for other Si 3 N 4 ceramics with a similar amount of MgO could be attributed to the presence of sodium. The oxidation process was most likely rate limited by grain‐boundary diffusion of Mg 2+ .
