摘要
Hexagonal BN-coated powders have been widely used in various engineering sectors,however,their pro-ductions are restricted by the complexity of gas-solid reactions.In this study,guided by thermodynamics,a novel approach to synthesize Layer-structured hexagonal BN(hBN)-coated high entropy diboride pow-ders in vacuum was developed,using metal salt Zr(NO_(3))4·5H_(2)O,HfCl_(4),NbC_(15),TaC_(15),C_(16)H_(36)O_(4)Ti,boric acid,and sucrose as raw materials.By adjusting the ratio of carbon to metal source(C/M),powders only consisting of two boride solid solutions and hBN were finally obtained,under an optimal process-ing condition of C/M=5.5 and synthesis temperature of 1400 ℃.Parts of hBN were found to coat on high-entropy metal diborides ceramic(HEB)particles,corresponding formation mechanism for core-shell structured powders was investigated,together with the liquid precursor assisted boro/carbothermal re-duction process.Starting from as-synthesized core-shell powders,(Ti_(0.2)Zr_(0.2)Hf_(0.2)Nb_(0.2)Ta_(0.2))B2-11 vol%hBN ceramics were densified at 1900 ℃ under 50 MPa without holding,with a high relative density of 97.3%.
