The invention aims to prepare an aluminum
nitride ceramic material with high strength and high
thermal conductivity, and belongs to the technical field of
ceramic material preparation. In order to obtain the aluminum
nitride ceramic with
low oxygen content and
fine grain structure, a novel method of pre-
sintering, hot pressed
sintering and high-temperature annealing is designed, wherein the pre-
sintering temperature is 1400-1600 DEG C, the sintering time is 2-5 hours, the
hot pressing sintering temperature is 1650-1800 DEG C, the sintering time is 0.5-3 hours, the sintering pressure is 15-45 MPa, the annealing temperature is 1750-1800 DEG C, and the annealing time is 3-8 hours. According to the method, presintering
oxygen reduction and annealing deoxidation are utilized, so that the
impurity oxygen content, especially the
lattice oxygen content, of the aluminum
nitride ceramic is effectively reduced. Therefore, under the condition of ensuring the strength, the heat
conductivity of the aluminum nitride ceramic is remarkably improved, and the aluminum nitride ceramic has high practical value. The ceramic prepared by the method has the advantages of fine grains and low
impurity oxygen content, the average grain size is less than 3 microns, the
thermal conductivity is higher than 200W / m.k, the total
oxygen content is lower than 1%, and the bending strength is higher than 350MPa.
