Formation of Aluminium Nitride during Sintering of Powder Injection Moulded Aluminium

Article Preview

Abstract:

A TEM study of aluminium nitride formed during sintering of powder injection moulded aluminium under nitrogen is presented. A polycrystalline layer consisting of fine, rod-shaped crystallites of hexagonal AlN formed on the Al powder surfaces. The grain boundaries exhibit a double layer of AlN separated by a thin layer of Al. The structure of the AlN is characterised and its influence upon sintering discussed.
