Porous silicon nitride ceramics with open porosity fraction of about 0.25 were obtained by capsule-free hot isostatic pressing from as-received and aqueous Soxlet washed powders. Particle surface modification by aqueous washing increases green density of cold isostatically pressed bodies and leads to a decrease in open pore fraction. At the same time, the α–β transition rate of the treated powder decreases.
