Abstract: The densification behavior, reaction sequence and microstructural development of (Y+Sm) α -AlN-polytypoids multi-phase Sialon were studied by XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that the AlN-polytypoids form earlier than α-Sialon and segregate together. The α-Sialon develops into elongated grains in this multi-phase Sialon. The mechanism of elongated α-Sialondeveloped was discussed.

Key words: α-Sialon, AlN-polytypoids, multi-phase ceramics, microstructures
