Introduction to Boron Nitride Ceramic Materials
Boron nitride (BN) ceramics are renowned for their exceptional high-temperature resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 850°C in air and up to 2000°C in inert gases. Simultaneously, they possess excellent thermal stability and conductivity, allowing them to maintain outstanding performance even in high-temperature environments. They are widely used in high-temperature furnaces and chemical equipment, and other fields requiring high-temperature stability.
