Abstract

Nanoparticulates of aluminum nitride (AlN) have been synthesized by novel dry process, namely pulsed wire discharge where aluminum wire is exploded by an intense pulsed current (10-20 kA at the peak, half cycle of 10 μs) in NH3/N2 gas. The average size of the nanoparticulates was found to be 28 nm. Furthermore, narrow particle distribution of the particulates was observed, where geometric standard deviation was 1.29. Increasing charging energy enhances the nitridation of aluminum. The maximum content of AlN in synthesized particulates was ∼95 %. The sintered body with 80 % of density has been obtained by sintering at 1, 600°C for one hour.
