Abstract
The potential utilization of nitride and oxynitride ceramics in high and low temperature structural engineering systems has focused much interest on these materials. These new efforts have revealed many problems concerned with the formation, stability and sintering of single or multi-phase materials based on compositions in these systems. One of the keys to producing materials with controlled micro structures and optimized properties is an understanding of the phase equilibria. In particular, the phase diagram should include liquid and vapour phases if they occur.
