This invention discloses a low-water-absorption
boron nitride ceramic and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
ceramic preparation. Addressing the problem that the high water
absorption rate of existing
boron nitride ceramics affects their
wave transmission properties, this invention provides a method for preparing low-water-absorption
boron nitride ceramics. The method includes boiling and
drying a
boron nitride ceramic matrix, followed by a first vacuum impregnation in silica
sol; in-situ gelation of the
boron nitride ceramic matrix immersed in silica
sol, followed by gradual heating and
drying to remove the surface gel;
sintering and a second vacuum impregnation of the
boron nitride ceramic matrix after surface gel removal; and
drying the boron nitride ceramic matrix after the second vacuum impregnation to obtain the low-water-absorption boron nitride ceramic. The entire preparation process of this invention is simple, controllable, and easy to implement, which is beneficial for industrial production. Furthermore, the prepared boron nitride ceramic exhibits
high density, low water absorption, excellent
dielectric properties, and
thermal shock resistance, making it suitable for preparing
aerospace wave-transparent material components.
