ABSTRACT:
A process for producing an aluminum nitride ceramic body having a composition defined and encompassed by polygon P1JFA4 but not including lines JF and A4F of FIG. 4, a porosity of less than about 10% by volume, and a thermal conductivity greater than 1.00 W/cm.multidot.K at 25.degree. C. which comprises forming a mixture comprised of aluminum nitride powder containing oxygen, yttrium oxide, and free carbon, shaping said mixture into a compact, said mixture and said compact having a composition wherein the equivalent % of yttrium and aluminum ranges between points J and A4 of FIG. 4, said compact having an equivalent % composition of Y, Al, O and N outside the composition defined and encompassed by polgon P1JFA4 of FIG. 4, heating said compact to a temperature at which its pores remain open reacting said free carbon with oxygen contained in said aluminum nitride producing a deoxidized compact, said deoxidized compact having a composition wherein the equivalent % of Al, Y, O and N is defined and encompassed by polygon P1JFA4 but not including lines JF and A4F of FIG. 4, and sintering said deoxidized compact at a temperature of at least about 1850.degree. C. producing said ceramic body.
