Low-porosity [alpha]- and [beta]-SiAlON composite material was prepared when the powder mixture intended for preparation of yttrium [alpha]-SiAlON, with the formula Y[sub 0.4]Si[sub 12[minus]m+n]Al[sub m+n]O[sub n]N[sub 16[minus] n], was attritor milled in isopropyl alcohol or contained excess oxygen (n > 0.6). The region of stability of single-phase yttrium [alpha]-SiAlON was smaller at lower temperatures. Wet milling (in isopropyl alcohol) of AlN powder was found to introduce excess oxygen into the milled powder.
