Abstract

Pure-AIN powder compacts have been fabricated by isostatic pressing and impact forming in the pressurs range of 1.5 ˜ 5.5 GPa. The density of these compacts was in the range of 70 ˜ 90% of the theoretical. The mean particle size was reduced from 20 μm to a few micron meters depending on compaction pressures. The density changes observed after sintering at temperatures above 1,600°C were independent of initial starting densities. A similar shrinkage was observed when residual strains were eliminated by annealing at 1,550°C for 30 min. Micro-structures of the sintered specimens showed a mixed region of either extensive grain growth or little growth.
