Hexagonal boron nitride ceramic(h-BN)has been prepared by pressureless sintering method. The effect of sintering aids, moulding pressure and sintering temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructures of h-BN were investigated. The results show that the densification of as-prepared h-BN ceramic can be contributed to the addition of sintering-aids and the formation of card-house structure. Because of the high densification and card-house microstructure, the obtained h-BN demonstrates higher bending strength and lower porosity when the moulding pressure is 200MPa, sintering temperature is 1850°C and the contents of sintering aids is 10wt%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
