Abstract
Abstract A sintered aluminum nitride body is produced by adding to aluminum nitride powder at least one sintering aid selected from the nitrides and hydrides of calcium, strontium and barium and mixtures thereof in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight of the aluminum nitride, molding the mixture, and sintering in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
