Abstract
Effect of adding Y2O3-CaO-AlB2 for low temperature sintering of AlN ceramics was investigated using weight loss, XRD measurements and SEM observation. Samples of AlN with Y2O3-CaO-AlB2 sintered at 1650∼1700°C for 4hours were almost densified. It was found that addition of AlB2 to AlN-Y2O3-CaO is effective for sintering low temperature as addition of LaB6.
