Porous AlN Ceramics Fabricated by Carbothermal Reduction

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new method for preparing porous AlN ceramics with high porosity had been developed by carbothermal reduction of die-pressed green bodies composed of alumina, carbon, sintering additives and AlN seeds. The influences of sintering additives and sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of porous AlN ceramics were investigated. XRD analysis proved that complete formation of AlN phase except for minor of glass phase. SEM analysis showed that the resultant porous AlN ceramics occupied fine microstructure and a uniform pore structure. Porous AlN ceramics with a porosity of 41~66% and a strength of 2.7~ 51.8 MPa were obtained.
