Abstract
The experimental results of combustion of aluminum nanopowder (ANP) in air and AlN crystals formation process were studied. The air pressure during the combustion process significantly affected the crystals growth mechanism. Crystals with the different morphology (whiskers, hexagonal crystals, rods) were found in the condensed combustion products.
Research highlightsⶠCombustion of Al nanopowder in air results in formation of the anisotropic crystals of AlN. ⶠThe ratio 'length/diameter' is different for the crystals of AlN depending on air pressure during combustion. ⶠAlN formation during combustion is allowed by fast cooling of combustion products.
