Annotation The analysis of technologies for the synthesis of aluminum oxynitride (AlON) used for the manufacture of transparent armor ceramics was performed. It is shown that the most effective method of liquid-phase synthesis of AlON, where the fusion process is not aligned with separately synthesized sintering,and raw material extends the technological capabilities of production. It was experimentally established that more promising is the method in which synthesis was carried out according to the scheme consisting of preparation of dehydrated gel, its thermal decomposition, followed by nitriding in ammonia medium, wherein inorganic material was used as a raw material powder synthesized beforehand. Application of the technology can be used in manufacture of the whole range of products made by ceramic technology methods - molding and sintering without pressure, and it allows obtaining some shaped articles, e.g. transparent thin-walled shell which is used in rocket engineering.
Key words armor, transparent ceramics, aluminum oxynitride synthesis, inorganic raw materials, powder materialsynthesis.
