Abstract

Aluminium nitride-molybdenum lossy ceramics were manufactured by hot pressing a mixture of AlN and Mo powders with Y2O3 as sintering aid. The microwave attenuation characteristic was evaluated by network analyzer, and thermal conductivities were measured by laser-flash technique. The results indicate that all samples show densification (open porosity < 0.5%) in the range of sintering temperature. The main crystalline phases of the composites are AlN and Mo as well as small amount of yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12). With the increase of Mo content, the microwave attenuation characteristic of AlN-Mo composites transfers from wideband attenuation to narrowband attenuation. The sample (AM3), which contained 33wt% metallic phase dispersed in the AlN matrix and was sintered at 1850°C, possesses the best wideband attenuation property with the maximum attenuation up to 4.5dB. Thermal conductivities improve to over 100 W·m-1·K-1 with the sintering temperature increasing from 1800°C to 1900°C. The high thermal conductivity is related closely to sintering temperature.
