Abstract: The AlN/h-BN nanocomposite powders were prepared through the reaction of AlN powder, H3BO3, and CO(NH2)2 in nitrogen atmosphere at
850℃. TEM observation shows that the average particle diameter of BN is about 20~30nm. The AlN/BN ceramic composites were synthesized
by hot-pressing. SEM/TEM observation shows that the BN particles are thin pin-shaped with 100~400nm pin-length and 30~50nm pin-width. The
hardness of the composites decreases obviously and the machinable property increases when the BN content is more than 20wt%.

Key words: machinabe, AlN, nano-sized BN, microstructure
