Abstract:
Textured hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) matrix composite ceramics were prepared by hot-pressing using different contents of 3Y 2 O 3 −5Al 2 O 3 (molar ratio of 3:5) as the sintering additive. During hot-pressing, the liquid Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) phase showing good wettability to h-BN grains was in situ formed through the reaction between Y 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 , and a coherent relationship between h-BN and YAG was observed with $${\left[ {010} \right]_{{\rm{h}} - {\rm{BN}}}}{\rm{//}}{\left[ {111} \right] _{{\rm{YAG}}}}$$ [ 010 ] h − BN // [ 111 ] YAG and (002) h-BN //(321) YAG . In the YAG liquid phase environment formed during hot-pressing, plate-like h-BN grains were rotated under the uniaxial sintering pressure and preferentially oriented with their basal surfaces perpendicular to the sintering pressure direction, forming textured microstructures with the c -axis of h-BN grains oriented parallel to the sintering pressure direction, which give these composite ceramics anisotropy in their mechanical and thermal properties. The highest texture degree was found in the specimen with 30 wt% YAG, which also possesses the highest anisotropy degree in thermal conductivity. The aggregation of YAG phase was observed in the specimen with 40 wt% YAG, which resulted in the buckling of h-BN plates and significantly reduced the texture degree.
