Boron Nitride Ceramic

The other is diamond type. Similar to the principle of converting graphite into diamond, graphite-type boron nitride can be converted into diamond-type boron nitride at high temperature (1800°C) and high pressure (800Mpa). The B-N bond length (156pm) in this boron nitride is similar to the C-C bond length (154pm) of diamond, and its density is similar to that of diamond. Its hardness is comparable to that of diamond, and its heat resistance is better than that of diamond. It is a new type of high temperature resistant superhard material for making drills, abrasives and cutting tools.

The Development History Of Boron Nitride

---

• Boron nitride came out more than 100 years ago. The earliest application was hexagonal boron nitride as a high-temperature lubricant. Not only its structure but also its properties are very similar to graphite, and it is white, so it is commonly known as white graphite.
• Boron nitride (BN) ceramics are compounds discovered as early as 1842. A lot of research work on BN materials has been carried out abroad since the Second World War, and it was not developed until the BN hot pressing method was solved in 1955. American Diamond Company and United Carbon Company first put into production, and in 1960, more than 10 tons were produced.
• In 1957, R·H·Wentrof took the lead in successfully trial-producing CBN. In 1969, General Electric Company of the United States sold it as a commodity Borazon. In 1973, the United States announced that it was made into CBN cutting tools.
• In 1975, Japan introduced technology from the United States and also prepared CBN tools.
• In 1979, the first successful use of pulsed plasma technology to prepare avalanche c-BN thin films at low temperature and low pressure.
• In the late 1990s, c-BN thin films were prepared by a variety of physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods.
• From the perspective of China, the development is advancing by leaps and bounds. The research on BN powder began in 1963, and it was successfully developed in 1966. It was put into production in 1967 and applied to my country’s industry and cutting-edge technology.

The Material Properties Of Boron Nitride

CBN is usually black, brown or dark red crystals with a sphalerite structure and good thermal conductivity. The hardness is second only to diamond, and it is a superhard material that is often used as tool material and abrasive.

Boron nitride is chemically resistant and not attacked by inorganic acids and water. The boron-nitrogen bond is broken in hot concentrated alkali. Above 1200℃, it begins to oxidize in air. The melting point is 3000°C, and sublimation begins when it is slightly lower than 3000°C. Decomposition begins at about 2700°C under vacuum. Slightly soluble in hot acid, insoluble in cold water, relative density 2.25. The compressive strength is 170MPa. The maximum operating temperature is 900 °C in an oxidizing atmosphere, and can reach 2800 °C in an inactive reducing atmosphere, but the lubricating performance is poor at room temperature. Most of the properties of boron carbide are better than carbon materials. For hexagonal boron nitride: low coefficient of friction, good high temperature stability, good thermal shock resistance, high strength, high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of expansion, high electrical resistivity, corrosion resistance, microwave or Infrared transparent.

The Material Structure Of Boron Nitride

Boron nitride is a hexagonal crystal, most commonly a graphite lattice, and there are also amorphous variants. In addition to the hexagonal crystal form, boron carbide has other crystal forms, including: rhombohedral boron nitride (abbreviation: r-BN, or Said: trigonal boron nitride, its structure is similar to h-BN, which will be produced in the process of h-BN conversion to c-BN), cubic boron nitride [abbreviation: c-BN, or |3-BN, or z -BN (that is, sphalerite-type boron nitride), the texture is very hard], wurtzite-type boron nitride (abbreviation: w-BN, h-BN is a hard state under high pressure). Graphene-like 2D boron nitride crystals have even been found (similar to MoS: 2D crystals).

Due to the high hardness of steel materials, a lot of heat will be generated during machining. Diamond tools are easy to decompose at high temperatures and are easy to react with transition metals, while c-BN materials have good thermal stability and are not easy to occur with iron group metals or alloys. It can be widely used in precision machining and grinding of steel products. In addition to excellent wear resistance, c-BN also has excellent heat resistance. It can also cut heat-resistant steel, ferroalloy, quenched steel, etc. at a relatively high cutting temperature, and can cut high-hardness chilled rolls, seepage Carbon quenching materials and Si-Al alloys, which are very serious for tool wear. In fact, tools and abrasives made of sintered bodies of c-BN crystals (synthesized at high temperature and high pressure) have been used in high-speed precision machining of various cemented carbide materials.

As a wide-gap (6.4 eV) semiconductor material, c-BN has high thermal conductivity, high resistivity, high mobility, low dielectric constant, high breakdown electric field, can achieve dual-type doping, and has good It is called the third-generation semiconductor material after Si, Ge and GaAs together with diamond, SiC and GaN. Their common feature is a wide band gap, which is suitable for making electronic devices used under extreme conditions. Compared with SiC and GaN, c-BN has superior properties with diamond, such as wider band gap, higher mobility, higher breakdown electric field, lower dielectric constant and higher thermal Conductivity. Obviously, as an extreme electronic material, c-BN is better than diamond. However, as a semiconductor material, diamond has its fatal weakness, that is, the n-type doping of diamond is very difficult (the resistivity of n-type doping can only reach 102 Ω·cm, which is far from the device standard), while c-BN is Dual-type doping can be achieved. For example, in the process of high temperature and high pressure synthesis and thin film preparation, adding Be can obtain a p-type semiconductor; adding S, C, Si, etc. can obtain an n-type semiconductor. Therefore, it seems that c-BN is the third-generation semiconductor material with the most excellent performance. It can not only be used to prepare electronic devices that work under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high frequency, and high power, but also has excellent performance in deep ultraviolet light emitting and detectors. Broad application prospects. In fact, c-BN light-emitting diodes made under high temperature and high pressure conditions were first reported, which can work at a temperature of 650 °C. Under forward bias, the diode emits blue light visible to the naked eye. Spectral measurements show that its shortest wavelength is 215 nm (5.8 eV). c-BN has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to GaAs and Si, high thermal conductivity and low dielectric constant, good insulation performance and good chemical stability, making it a heat sink material and insulating coating for integrated circuits. In addition, c-BN has a negative electron affinity and can be used as a cold cathode field emission material, which has broad application prospects in the field of large-area flat-panel displays.

In optical applications, c-BN film is suitable for surface coating of some optical components due to its high hardness and high transmittance from ultraviolet (starting from about 200 nm) to far infrared. Coating of window materials such as zinc selenide (ZnSe) and zinc sulfide (ZnS). In addition, it has good thermal shock resistance and quotient hardness, and is expected to be an ideal window material for high-power lasers and detectors.
