Abstract: This paper summarizes the results from studies of the effect of 17 additives on the process and products of ultrafine aluminum combustion in air. It is shown that the additives influence the temperature and duration of the combustion process and the structure of the end products, including the yield of aluminum nitride. The major factor determining the yield of aluminum nitride is the maximum temperature reached in combustion of mixtures of ultrafine aluminum powder with definite additives.

Keywords: combustion, aluminum, aluminum nitride, additive, nanopowders, temperature, yield of products.
