Talk:Aluminium oxynitride

message: The patent and data sheet have been added to the article.  It would be wonderful if someone fluent in patentese could sift through these to get accurate information in the summary table. --Eponymous Coward 00:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Based on the correspondence principle, in the formula Al(64+x)/3O32-xNx   (2.75 ≤ x ≤ 5) if we set x=0, we should get Al2O3, but instead we get Al64O32, equivalent to Al2O. This is wrong, however the increment part, 1/3rd extra aluminum needed for each O replaced by N, is correct. So the correct formula should be something like Al(64+x)/3O96-xNx, but then I don't know how to adjust the x range to correspond to that 2.75 to 5 range, what the original intent was there. In any case, this way of writing the formula is complicated, and the molecular weight is confusing, nonsense. Instead, I went with the simple AlN 30-37 mole%, rest Al2O3, found in aforementioned US patent.
actually (64+0)/3 is not 64- it is 21 and a third, the chemical formula you removed is correct.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.171.202 (talk) 23:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  I discarded the old chemical formula 

message: Article said "harder than glass" but that was very vague so I added some numbers based on :
The technical data PDF includes 
* Young’s Modulus…….. 46.9x10^6 psi
* Hardness……………… 1850 Kg/mm2 (Knoop Indentation, 200g load)
* Fracture Toughness…….. 2.0 MPa-m1/2
* Flexure Strength………… 55,000 psi
and also compares properties with other materials. 
Could put in text or a suitable infobox.  Rod57 (talk) 02:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

message: If anyone knows where to find it, please would they add the conductivity/insulation data ? Thanks. Darkman101 (talk) 02:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thermal or electrical/ionic conductivity? Thermal conductivity is given in the article (although annoyingly without a citation). ALON is an ionic conductor at elevated temperatures. This paper (which should be free to download) reports the AC conductivity of γ-ALON at high temperature : http://alexandria.tue.nl/repository/freearticles/617532.pdf As for the room temperature electrical conductivity/resistance values I can't find a suitable reference at present.Polyamorph (talk) 09:22, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello, I am looking for ALON's elastic modulus and tensile strength and I'd like to contrast these in the article with polycarbonate's since ALON seems to be aimed as a replacement for polycarbonate in ballistic situations. Comments?   23.16.152.103 (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Images? 

message: Someone wrote here that the writers of Star Trek IV heard about developments of this material, and decided to incorporate that into the plot...even to the point of including molecular images in the film. But the reference for this goes to a Makezine article that states only that it is possible the writers heard about this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awilliamwright (talk • contribs) 00:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Section restored with different refs/citations since it's notable and there's an existing disambig mentioning what was in the section. The pop culture reference is not a disputed fact; what was in dispute was why it was included in the film, not the article, which is irrelevant here.
