Abstract:

A series of samples of AlN-BN ceramic composites with different contents of sintering additives CaF2(0-4wt%) were prepared by hot-pressing in nitrogen atmosphere at 1850℃ for 3h. The effects of sintering additives on densification, dielectric properties and thermal conductivity of AlN-BN composites were explored. The addition of CaF2 results in improvements in the level of densification and purified the grain boundary. AlN-BN composites with relative density of 98.53%-98.54% are obtained when CaF2 contents are 3wt%-4wt%. Dielectric constants of samples are between 7.29 and 7.60 and the best tanδ value is 6.28×10-4. It is found that dielectric constants increase with the increasing CaF2 contents and depend on the density of
the AlN-BN ceramic composites. The highest thermal conductivity reach 110W·m-1·K-1 by adding 3wt% CaF2.
