Abstract
Al/AlN FGMs were fabricated by the direct nitridation of Al/AlN powder compact. The density of a compact presintered at 600℃ in argon atmosphere followed by the reaction in nitrogen atmosphere at 900℃ for 4hours was improved to 97% of theoretical density. The reaction product was consisted of a dense ceramic layer on its surface and a ceramic-Al metal mixed layer beneath the layer. The reaction layer thickness was affected by the processing variables including AlN content. Al powder size and Mg content.
