APPLICATIONS

ALN

AlN Unblended 97% pure

3 microns to 10 mesh

Can be blended with other powders to improve thermal conductivity.  May be used as a sintering aid for SiC powder an also as a raw material to produce other powders such as sialon and aluminum oxy nitride.

ALN-IM

AlN Blended with yttria

5 microns a.p.s.

Used to allow for injection molding of AlN.  Recommended firing temperature is 1800/1830 ºC for 8 hours.  Expected shrinkage is 18%.  This powder can be used for slip casting and tape casting.  Can also be dry-pressed and iso-pressed.
