ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to the production of nitride-based ceramic bodies selected from the group of AlN and Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 which can be sintered to near theoretical densities at temperatures at least 200.degree. C. lower than those required for the pure materials. Such bodies are densified through the addition of a metal fluoride selected from the group of aluminum, barium, calcium, srtrontium, yttrium, the lanthanide rare earth metals, and mixtures thereof. Up to 80% by weight of said metal fluoride may be included but, generally, such additions will be held between 5-30% by weight. AlN bodies exhibiting very high thermal conductivity can be prepared by sintering with a metal fluoride selected from the group of barium, calcium, strontium, yttrium, the lanthanide rare earth metals, and mixtures thereof.
