好ましくは2μm以下の粉末を用いることが望ましい。However, in the case of pressureless sintering, a binder is further added to the pulverized and mixed material using the ball mill, etc., and the raw material is prepared by kneading, granulating, and sizing. As the A-N powder, it is desirable to use one containing 0.01 to 7% by weight of oxygen. This A, 17N powder has an average particle size of 4 μm or less, and it is desirable to use 2 μm or less for low-temperature sintering. Examples of the rare earth element compound include Sc, Y,

囲である。Further, it is desirable that the amount of the rare earth element compound and the alkaline earth element compound added to the A-N powder ranges from 0.01 to 20% by weight in total in terms of their respective oxide states. The reason for this is that the amount of these compounds added is 0.0
If it is less than 1% by weight, it will be difficult to generate the desired subphase of the rare earth element alkaline earth element aluminum compound.
On the other hand, if the amount of these compounds added exceeds 20% by weight, there is a risk that heat resistance, mechanical strength and thermal conductivity will decrease. A more preferable amount of the rare earth element compound and alkaline earth element compound is in the range of 0.01-17% by weight.
