Effects of processing on microstructure and indentation response of AlN doped SiC

Sintering of silicon carbide (SiC) requires high temperature and pressure due to the covalent nature of its bonding. Therefore, sintering additives are used to lower the sintering temperature and to control the microstructure. In this work, role of aluminium nitride (AlN) and carbon in pressure assi...
