Ceramic composites reinforced by second-phase particles demonstrate excellent mechanical properties, corrosion/oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance, or their combination compared with monolithic materials. In this communication the authors describe the preparation of high-strength in-situ non-oxide boron nitride (NOBN) composites such as AlN-BN, Alon-BN, and Sialon-BN having fine and homogeneous microstructures with fine and closed pores. These materials were obtained by nitridation of AlB2.
