Popis: AlN ceramics have been prepared with CeO 2 as a sintering aid at a sintering temperature of 1900 °C. The effect of CeO 2 contents on the microstructure, density, thermal conductivity and hardness was investigated. Addition of CeO 2 exerted a significant effect on the densification of AlN ceramics and hence on the microstructure. Thermal conductivity of AlN ceramics increased with CeO 2 content and was greater than that of Y 2 O 3 -doped AlN ceramics at a similar sintering temperature. The resulting AlN ceramics with 1.50 wt% of CeO 2 had the highest relative density of 99.94%, thermal conductivity of 156 W m −1 K −1 and hardness of 72.46 kg/mm 2 .
