The hexagonal boron-nitride crystal has the same graphite layered structures as graphite. This gives it its name “white graphite”. Specific gravity 2.43. Mohr hardness 2.27g/cm3. Theoretical density 2.27g/cm3.
Hexagonalboron nitride is good at electrical insulation, thermal conductivity and chemical stability. Although hexagonal boron-nitride has the same expansion coefficient as quartz, its thermal conductivity exceeds that of quartz by tenfold.
Hexagonalboron nitride is not able to dissolve cold water. The water boils slowly, producing a very small amount of ammonia and boric acids. It can only be broken down with potassium hydroxide (molten sodium hydroxide) and slightly soluble in hot acids.
Boron Nitride Properties
1. The heat resistance is high: Sublimation at 3000 at 1800. This strength can also be air-cooled at 1500 to ambient temperature for several dozens of time and not softens at 2800 in inert gases.
2. High thermal conductivity. The hot-pressed products behave the same way as pure iron. And 33W/M.K’s thermal conductivity is higher than that of ceramic materials at 530C.
3, Low thermal expansion coefficient. The thermal shock resistance of ceramics is excellent due to its low expansion coefficient (2 x 10-6).
4. It has excellent electrical characteristics: it is good at insulation at high temperatures (1014 O-cm.2000 at 25 and 1033 O-cm. The best ceramic high-temperature insulating material, it has breakdown voltage 3KV/MV. Low dielectric loss of 108HZ 2.5×10-4. Dielectric constant 4. Transparent to microwave and infrared.
5. Excellent corrosion resistance: It does not react to iron, copper or aluminum. It is compatible with rare earth metals and precious metals as well as semiconductor materials (germanium-siliconium-potassium arsenide), glass, inorganic acid (alkali), molten salts (crystals fluoride, slag), and other organic acids.
6. Low friction coefficient U of 0.16. This is less than the resistance to high temperatures than graphite or molybdenum disulfide. The oxidation atmosphere can withstand up to 900C and vacuum at 2000.
7. The purity of high purity B is very high. Its impure content is below 10ppm, while its content in B is greater than 43.6%.
8. Machinability: Its hardness is Morse 2. This allows it to be processed by general machining into precise parts.
