Abstract

Samples of composite with ceramic matrix of aluminum nitride have been produced by pressureless sintering of the AlN-Y2O3 powder compositions with addition of SiC-C particles of size 50 nm (agglomerates of 200 nm). The presence of a SiC solid solution in AlN has been revealed by Raman and X-ray diffraction microanalyses and measurements of microwave energy attenuation and of thermal conductivity. The basic physico-mechanical properties of the resultant AlN-(SiC-C) composites: hardness, thermal conductivity, attenuation of the microwave energy in the frequencies range from 9.5 to 10.8 GHz have been defined.
