Abstract
In this study, the effects of powder mixed method, sintering temperature, and the additive amount of the conductive phase on the dielectric loss tangent and permittivity constant of AlN/Mo composite ceramics were investigated. All the ceramic samples were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). AlN composite ceramics with additional 10 vol% Mo sintered at 1400 °C holding for 5 min exhibit the best dielectric loss tangent, which is greater than 0.23. AlN/Mo ceramics with additional 20 vol% Mo become conductive, with the resistivity of 0.05–0.06 Ω·m. High-energy ball milling is better than magnetic stirring powder mixing method. In addition, the additive Mo and lower sintering temperature lead to a better property with the increase in the electromagnetic wave frequency range of 1 × 103–1 × 106 Hz.
