Abstract
AlN-Mo composite ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) with CaF2 as sintering aids. Effect of Mo addition on the thermal conductivity and dielectric properties of the composite ceramics had been studied. The results show that the room temperature thermal conductivity increases with increasing the content of Mo, and the value begins to decrease slightly when the Mo concentration exceeds 20 vol. %. Analyses indicate that the key factors to dielectric properties are the metal phase concentration and the microstructure of Mo particles. 1 vol. % Ni has been added into the composite ceramics to change the distribution of the Mo phase. The elongated shape particles which link with each other have a tendency to acquire rounded forms which are thermodynamically more stable. Consequently, the dielectric constant and loss of the composite ceramics could be adjusted and the material becomes an electrical conductor in the case of Mo volume fraction of more than 23%. Furthermore, the dielectric properties could be improved to a large extent by transforming the microstructure of the metal particles when the concentration of Mo is fixed.
