Fabrication of Nano-Micron Al2O3-ZrO2 Ceramic Eutectic Composites from the Melts by the SHS Metallurgical Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

New nano-submicron textured Al2O3-ZrO2 ceramic eutectic composites were obtained from high-temperature melts produced by the SHS metallurgical process with intro-granular and 1-3 composite structures. Nano-micron textured ceramic composites were naturally self-assembled in one quick step by the SHS metallurgical process, in-situ synthesis and symbotic eutectic transformation under high degree of undercooling. The experimental results indicated that the Al2O3-ZrO2 ceramic eutectic composites with ZrO2 fibers at the nano-submicron scale are only suitable for the ceramic composite with hypoeutectic composition under the conditions of the experiment.
