Abstract
Dispersed phase ceramic composite coatings containing BN and AIN were prepared by chemical vapor deposition. The BN + AIN coatings were deposited on Al2O3 from the BCI3–AICI3‐NH3 reagent system in the temperature range of 700° to 1200°C. Also, single‐phase BN and AIN coatings were prepared for comparison purposes. The composite coatings consisted of very small BN and AIN regions which were either crystalline or amorphous, depending on deposition temperature and reagent concentrations. For example, a composite containing AlN whiskers of less than 100‐nm diameter in a matrix of turbostratic BN of 2‐nm grain size was deposited at 1100°C and 20 kPa.
