Study on the Crystal Bonding Mechanism of Al2O3–ZrO2 Ceramic Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Al2O3–ZrO2 ceramic composite samples were prepared using Al2O3–ZrO2 composite powder synthesized by sol-gel processing as the main starting material and zirconia gel as the binder. Then the mineral phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the crystal bonding mechanism was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that: 1) the mineral phases were monoclinic zirconia, tetragonal zirconia and corundum. The microstructure shows an alumina-zirconia diffusion mosaic structure and the grain boundary interface with direct bonding state. 2) The crystal growth model was the Ostwald dual growth model of the alumina and zirconia grains, and the crystal bonding mechanism was that the intragranular zirconia grain exited within the alumina grain and the intergranular zirconia grain exited during the alumina grain boundaries.
