Popis: AlN compacts with different CaO–Y2O3–C mixtures were sintered between 1100 and 1850 °C to understand the effects of the in situ formed reducing atmosphere on the densification behavior and evolution of the second-phases. AlN with Y2O3 densified at 1750 °C, but the addition of C changed the second-phases evolution towards Y-rich phases that delayed the densification. For AlN containing CaO, the second-phases were little influenced by the reducing atmosphere, but the addition of C increased the evaporation of the second-phase compounds during sintering, limiting the densification due to the reduction of the liquid-phase fraction and the gas trapping inside the pores. AlN with CaO–Y2O3 mixtures could be completely densified at 1650 °C, but the addition of C inhibited the densification below this sintering temperature because liquid-phase had poor wetting and spreading characteristics and the second-phase a high melting point (>1800 °C).
