Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/US89/03813 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 26, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 26, 1991 PCT Filed Sep. 1, 1989.A method for producing dense aluminum nitride articles having enhanced thermal conductivity is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of forming a powder compact comprising AlN alone or in combination with other ceramic compounds, adding a densification aid, subsequently exposing the compact to an environment which serves to reduce the oxygen content of the compact, and then densifying the compact by sintering or hot-pressing to provide a dense article. The densified AlN article is found to have a high thermal conductivity.
