✦ Synopsis

The Jormation and stability of Alon under various circumstances are described using Ellingham and activity diagrams. With the help of these diagrams the connection between seemingly uncorrelated experimental observations on the stability of Alon from the literature can be understood. Thermodynamic data sets.~r AIon are critically reviewed. It is shown that Alon is stable only within a small region of oxygen and nitrogen pressures, and that it is not stable below 1640 +_ lO°C.
