Boron Nitride Ceramics Structures

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a stable phase at ordinary temperature and pressure, and cubic boron nitride (CBN) and wurtzite boron nitride (WBN) can be synthesized at high temperature and high pressure.

The hexagonal form boron nitride (HBN) corresponding to graphite is the softest and most stable form among BN polymorphs and is therefore used as a lubricant and an additive to cosmetic products. HBN can also be produced in graphene-like sheets that can be formed into boron nitride nanotubes.

The cubic boron nitride (CBN) has a high hardness which is inferior only to diamond. But unlike diamond, CBN is insoluble in metals at high temperatures, making it a useful abrasive and oxidation-resistant metal coating.

The rare wurtzite boron nitride (WBN) modification is similar to lonsdaleite, and it may even be harder than CBN.

Boron Nitride Ceramics Applications

Boron nitride powder has high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of friction, high dielectric constant, and is chemically inert. Due to those unique properties, it is used in a broad range of applications as follows:

Electronics
Cosmetics
Aerospace
Dental application
Ceramic manufacturing

Boron nitride ceramics are traditionally used as parts of high-temperature equipment because of excellent thermal and chemical stability.

BN also has potential use in nanotechnology. Boron nitride nanotubes can be produced that have a structure similar to that of carbon nanotubes, i.e. graphene (or BN) sheets rolled on themselves, but the properties are very different.

H-BN Ceramic is usually used to make BN crucible. C-BN is used as an abrasive and is an ideal material for heat spreaders. W-BN is an ideal dielectric substrate material for optical, electronic, and 2-D graphene-based devices.

FAQ

Q: What Are the Properties of BN Ceramic?

A: - Heat and chemical resistance: The compound has a melting point of 2,973°c and a thermal enlargement coefficient significantly above that of the diamond. Its hexagonal shape resists decomposition even if exposed to a 1000°c in ambient air. Boron nitride doesn’t dissolve in not unusual acids. - Thermal conductivity: At 1700 to 2000 w/mk, boron nitride has a thermal conductivity this is comparable with that of graphene, a similarly hexagon-latticed compound however made up of carbon atoms. - Lubricating property: Boron nitride has the capacity to reinforce the coefficient of friction of lubricating oil, whilst decreasing the capability for put-on. - Density: Depending on its form, its density ranges from 2. 1 to 3.5 g/cm3.

Q: What Do the Three Main Crystalline Forms Mean?

A: Three main crystalline forms, known as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), cubic boron nitride (c-BN), and wurtzite boron nitride (w-BN). Hexagonal BN is the most stable and soft form, which is why it is used as a lubricant and additive to cosmetic products. There are other polymorphic but less common forms, such as a-BN, t-BN, r-BN, m-BN, and o-BN.

Q: How To Produce Boron Nitride Powder?

A: - Solid-State Synthesis - Precipitation & Coprecipitation - Spray Pyrolysis - Sol-Gel Method - Hydro-Thermal Further reading: 5 Boron Nitride Powder Production Methods

Q: What Is Pyrolytic Boron Nitride?

A: Pyrolytic boron nitride is abbreviated as Pyrolytic BN or PBN, and also known as Chemical vapour-deposited Boron Nitride, Chemical Vapour-deposition of Boron Nitride or CVD-BN. As the name suggests, this is a kind of boron nitride prepared by high temperature pyrolysis reaction by chemical vapor deposition.

Q: What Are the Main Uses of PBN Ceramic?

A: (1) Compound semiconductor single crystal growth container (2) Crucibles for molecular beam epitaxy (3) Crucibles for OLED (4) PBN ring and PBN sheet (5) PBN thin-film coating
