BAN represents a significant advancement in machinable ceramics. This composite material uniquely blends Aluminum Nitride (AlN) with Boron Nitride (BN), resulting in a hybrid ceramic offering outstanding thermal conductivity, impressive mechanical strength, and remarkable resistance to thermal shock.
These engineered ceramics find critical applications across diverse high-tech industries, including electronics, semiconductor fabrication, aerospace, automotive, and medical sectors. The specific combination of properties in BAN makes it exceptionally well-suited for demanding components such as heat sinks, heater substrates, parts within semiconductor processing equipment, and various optical devices.
Key Advantages of BAN:
BAN delivers a powerful combination of essential properties:
- high mechanical strength coupled with excellent thermal conductivity;
- low thermal expansion and minimal dielectric loss;
- superb electrical insulation capabilities;
- high corrosion resistance, including non-wetting behavior against molten metals.
Crucially, it offers excellent machinability, allowing for the production of high-precision, complex shapes. Furthermore, BAN provides excellent vacuum sealing capability with minimal outgassing and possesses favorable high-frequency wave properties, allowing for the easy transmission of visible and infrared light.
Primary Application Areas:
- Heat sink designs require optimal thermal management.
- Critical vacuum system components.
- Applications demanding a low dielectric constant and dissipation factor.
- In parts where dimensional stability is paramount, a low coefficient of thermal expansion is required.
- Electronic components necessitate both electrical insulation and efficient heat dissipation.
- Electric propulsion discharge channels, specifically for Hall Effect Thrusters.
