Aluminum Oxynitride Spinel (ALON): A Review

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA184753 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Aluminum oxynitride spinel ALON is a relatively new ceramic that can be processed into fully dense transparent material. There are a variety of applications where this material could replace alumina, especially where optical transparency and strength are important. This report reviews the current status of this material, including phase equilibria, processing, and properties.
