A combinastion of electron microscopy, diffraction, and spectroscopic techniques were used to identify and characterize the quaternary Zr‐Al‐O‐N phase, which forms during reaction sintering of AlN+ZrO 2 mixtures. It is proposed that this phase has a space group Fd 3 m; several compositions are suggested.
