Abstract
Experimental data are presented on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of aluminum nitride from Al + AlN starting charges, containing no gas-generating additions. The effect of the charge composition on the combustion temperature, powder morphology, and the chemical composition of the synthesis products is analyzed. The results are used to optimize the process conditions.
