After sintering, the Al–AlO–MgO composites were characterized and analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results show that specimen Mwas composed of MgO and MgAlO. Compared with specimen M, specimens Mand Mpossessed MgAlON, and its production increased with increasing aluminum addition. Under an Natmosphere, MgO, AlO, and Al in the matrix of specimens Mand Mreacted to form MgAlON and AlN-polytypoids, which combined the particles and the matrix together and imparted the Al–AlO–MgO composites with a dense structure. The mechanism of MgAlON synthesis is described as follows. Under an Natmosphere, the partial pressure of oxygen is quite low; thus, when the Al–AlO–MgO composites were soaked at 580°C for an extended period, aluminum metal was transformed into AlN. With increasing temperature, AlOdiffused into AlN crystal lattices and formed AlN-polytypoids; however, MgO reacted with AlOto form MgAlO. When the temperature was greater than(1640 ± 10)°C, AlN diffused into AlOand formed spinel-structured AlON. In situ MgAlON was acquired through a solid-solution reaction between AlON and Mg AlOat high temperatures because of their similar spinel structures.展开更多

Co-precipitation processing was employed to achieve amorphous precursor from AI(NO3)3 solution dispersed by nanosized carbon particles, which was composed of AI(OH)3 and C particles homogeneously. The effects of the content of carbon black, pH value, and calcination temperature on formation of A1ON phase were investigated by means of XRD, SEM and TEM, respectively. It was found that single phase AION powder could be synthesized when the resultant precursors were calcined at 1750℃ for 2 hours under flowing N2. Un- der optimal additional content of C (5.6wt%), the resultant A1ON powders exhibited the primary particle size of about 1-3 μm with a specific surface area of 3.2 m2/g, which were superior to that of carbothermal reduction of immediate mixture of γ-A1203/C powders.展开更多
