Notes:
Aluminum nitride (AlN)–silicon carbide (SiC) nanocomposite powders were prepared by the nitridation of aluminum-silicon carbide (Al4SiC4) with the specific surface area of 15.5 m2·g−1. The powders nitrided at and above 1400°C for 3 h contained the 2H-phases which consisted of AlN-rich and SiC-rich phases. The formation of homogeneous solid solution proceeded with increasing nitridation temperature from 1400° up to 1500°C. The specific surface area of the AlN–SiC powder nitrided at 1500°C for 3 h was 19.5 m2·g−1, whereas the primary particle size (assuming spherical particles) was estimated to be ∼100 nm.
