Abstract
In this work, Al2O3–CeMgAl11O19 composites were sintered at 1530 °C for 3 h with the wet nitrogen–hydrogen atmosphere in the tunnel kiln for HTCC application. The effects of the CeMgAl11O19 content on the mechanical and dielectric properties were investigated. The results indicated that the CeMgAl11O19 platelets significantly enhanced the mechanical property and slightly reduced the grain size of Al2O3. The optimum bending strength was 450 MPa with 8 wt% CeMgAl11O19 addition. But further additions would promote the abnormal growth of grains and increase porosity. CeMgAl11O19 exhibited insignificant effects on the dielectric properties of composite ceramics, with all samples having dielectric constants in the range of 9–10 and acceptable dielectric losses. For the composite ceramics with 8 wt% CeMgAl11O19, a strong metal–ceramic combination was obtained with metallization adhesion strength greater than 44.5 N/mm2.
