F. Ansart et al., X-RAY-DIFFRACTION OF ALUMINUM NITRIDE AT HEAT-TREATMENT TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 20-DEGREES-C AND 1,200-DEGREES-C, Revue Internationale des Hautes Temperatures et des Refractaires, 29(2), 1994, pp. 49-53
This paper concerns the study of the oxidation of the aluminium nitrid
e at high temperature by X-ray diffraction. This coating is used in or
der to protect based-carbon composite materials against the oxidation.
The X-ray diffraction method allows to follow the in-situ behavior of
aluminium nitride under several thermal treatment conditions. The exp
erimental device is used to follow the structural variations occuring
in the samples during the heat treatment. Then, we present the evoluti
on of the lattice parameters during the oxidation at high temperature.
