Improvement of Mechanical Properties of Al₂O₃-SiC Composite with ZrO₂ (3Y) Particles

Abstract:

The mechanical properties of Al₂O₃-SiC based composites were improved by the addition of ZrO₂(3Y) particles in the range of 10 to 25 vol.%. Al₂O₃-SiC/ZrO₂(3Y) composites were manufactured by pressureless sintering at 1550, 1600, and 1650^oC. Sintered composites were characterized for density, XRD, microstructure and mechanical properties such as flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness. The results showed that the highest flexural strength of 250 MPa was obtained with 25 vol.% ZrO₂(3Y) composite sintered at 1600^oC due to higher density and smaller Al₂O₃ grains in comparison with samples sintered at 1550^oC and 1650^oC, respectively. The maximum fracture toughness of 5.66 MPa.m^1/2was obtained with 20 vol.% ZrO₂(3Y) sintered at 1600^oC. The highest hardness of 9.16 GPa was obtained with composite of 10 vol.% ZrO₂(3Y) sintered at 1600^oC as it contains the largest amount of hard SiC.
