Abstract

This chapter includes a series of phase diagrams of AlN-based non-oxide systems. The phase diagrams are collected from that of several systems, i.e., AlN–Al2O3, AlN–SiC, AlN–Al2OC–SiC, and Al4C3–AlN–SiC. They are constructed by solid phases of quaternary AlN–Al4C3–Al2O3–SiC system, in which the AlN–Al2OC–SiC system was revealed to be a phase diagram of solid solution with tetrahedral [MX4] wurtzite structure (see Appendix Table A.5). Especially, the phase relations of ternary Al4C3–AlN–SiC system have attracted much attention. In addition, AlN–SiC–R2O3 (R = light rare earths) systems exist R2(Al1−xSix)O3(N1−xCx) solid solution with K2NiF4 structure. All these phase diagrams of AlN-based non-oxide ceramics systems are very important for crystal chemistry and physical chemistry.
