The Si3N4-BN composites were prepared by gel-casting and precursor infiltration and pyrolysis route using borazine as the precursor. The composition, mechanical, microstructural, and dielectric properties of the composites were investigated. The composites are composed of h-BN, α-Si3N4, and β-Si3N4. The typical density, porosity, flexural strength, elastic modulus, and fracture toughness of the composites are 2.21?g/cm3, 17.8%, 185.59?MPa, 69.13?GPa, and 2.47?MPa?m1/2, respectively. The dielectric constant and loss tangent of the composites are 4.507-4.635 and 1.06?×?10?-1.97?×?10? at the frequency of 7-18?GHz. Desirable properties of the composites have been achieved.
