Abstract: The growth process of AlN synthesized by Lanxide method was studied. XRD analysis shows that AlN crystal grows in a specific direction [0001]. During nitridation, AlN crystal grew from the metal base surface toward atmosphere, then formed a parallel and rod-like microstructure. Durillg initia1 reaction, there was a significant Mg-evaporation phenomenon, and magnesium gas reacted with nitrogen or oxygen to form a porous and loosen surface layer. It was also found that there was a Si-rich process during nitridation which caused composition unhomogenity in product.

Key words: AlN aluminum, alloy, reaction, growth
