Abstract
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(NO3)4·5H2O,HfCl4,NbCl5,TaCl5,C16H36O4Ti,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,(Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)B2-11 vol%hBN ceramics were densified at 1900 ℃ under 50 MPa without holding,with a high relative density of 97.3%.
