Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has excellent characteristics such as high heat resistance, high thermal conductivity, high thermal shock resistance, and high electric insulation, and is a few easily processable ceramics. Therefore, it is used as a crucible for ceramics sintering, a heat-resistant jig, and a high-temperature insulating material. However, it has less mechanical strength than other general ceramics because it does not have self-sinterability, and its use is not expanded. It is the cause.
