Three different series of porous silicon nitride ceramics with volume fraction porosities in the range 0-0.5 were fabricated using different preparation routes: (i) partial sintering, (ii) the addition of fugitive inclusions, and (iii) partial hot pressing. The use of different sintering additives and firing conditions, depending on the preparation route, gives rise to different materials within a certain porosity range with variations in terms of microstructure and grain boundary phase. Mechanical properties, elastic moduli, and strength have been evaluated separately for each series of materials. Porosity dependences of Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, and fracture strength have been assessed and a comparison of the different materials is made and discussed in relation to their microstructural features.
