The mixture with 1 ∶ 1of graphite and aluminum was well mixed with additional 15% phenolic resin and then shaped in a hydraulic machine.

The results show that at800 ℃ aluminum powder melts and reacts with carbon in resin forming granular Al4C3 at the edge of graphite;at 1 000 ℃,Al4C3 increases in amount and grows in volume,and AlN commences to form; at 1 200 ℃,some Al4C3 grows to tabular shape,and other Al4C3 nitridizes forming fibrous AlN; at 1 400 ℃,Al4C3 decreases because it is nitridized or oxidized forming fibrous AlN or Al2O3; at 1 600 ℃,Al4C3 disappears,AlN or Al2O3 gets big and coarse.展开更多
