Abstract: The feasibility of fabricating AlN was demonstrated. The effects of additives and nitridation temperature on the behavior in direct nitridation of molten
Al-Si-Mg alloys were investigated. The experiments were carried out at different temperatures under high pure nitrogen atmosphere. The main role of additive elements,
and the nitridation process of molten aluminium alloys were also discussed on the base of thermodynamic analysis. Moreover, the effects of temperature and additives
in raw alloys on the nitridation rate were investigated by TG experiments.

Key words: aluminum alloys, AlN, in situ reaction, thermodynamics and kinetics
