It is synthesized from aluminum oxide and nitrogen and has the advantages of high transparency, high hardness, high strength, high temperature resistance, and wide application. In the preparation process, a dryer is needed to dry the semi-finished product after molding. Existing dryers are prone to uneven drying during the drying process, which can cause the alumina oxynitride transparent ceramic semi-finished product to crack. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to design a dryer for alumina oxynitride transparent ceramic semi-finished product that can dry evenly and reduce cracking caused by uneven drying.
