Abstract
Turbostratic boron nitride
t BN) powders have been synthesized through reactive sintering process using B and N2, h BN
matrix ceramic has been sintered using the obtained t BN powders and the commercial h BN as raw materials and Al2O3/Y2O3 as sintering aids aids. The compositions, morphologies, porosity, and mechanical properties of the as fabricated composites were investigated. The results show that after sintering at 1850°C for 2 h, the unique uniform with card house
structure of h-BN was observed. The combination effect of sintering aids densification and card house structure densification
is the main mechanism which controls the microstructure evolution of h-BN. When the reactive synthetic temperature of t BN
is 1350 for 2h, the Al2O3/Y2O3 ratio is 3: 2 and total contents of sintering ads is 1 5 wt%, the porosity and flexural strength of the sintered body reaches the optimum,.
