Abstract
In order to synthesize fine AlN powder by the direct nitridation of Aluminum metal power added LiF and BaF2 as additives was heated at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs. in nitrogen gas with flow rate of 20 mι/sec. Additives are promoted the nitridation by prevented the aggromerate of powders when 3% LiF and 2% BaF2 were added to Al metal powder. Rate of nitridation was about 100% and average size of AlN powders were very fine such as 0.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Specific surface area of synthesized AlN powder was 3.95$m^2$/g and also O2 and N2 contents were 2.595% and 33.25%, respectively.
