Abstract
Ceramics were prepared by hot pressing of chemical mixtures of turbostratic boron nitride with copper. A positive effect of copper on boron nitride crystallization and densification has been found. Preferred orientation of boron nitride grains has been revealed in such ceramics, being opposite to general experience: the c-axis of boron nitride crystallites was arranged preferably within a plane perpendicular to the direction of uniaxial pressure. Such an arrangement is interpreted as a result of the uniaxial compression of the boron nitride grains extensively growing within the c crystallographic axis.
