Evaluation of Hardness and the Fracture Toughness of Composite Biphasic Alumina-YAG

Article Preview

Abstract:

Currently the composite two-phase Al2O3-YAG laser has been widely exploited by having good properties such as high abrasion resistance and deformation in harsh environments. Thus, one can predict that this material has very attractive applications such as fins of jet engines and gas turbines. In this study, five mixtures were processed Y2O3-Al2O3-Nb2O5, in proportions of 0, 1, 5, 15 and 35 wt% Y2O3 and 4% by weight of Nb2O5. These samples were sintered at 1550 to 1650 °C in air where it was detected by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) with Rietveld refinement training YAG and also two intermediate stages, and AlNbO4 YNbO4. Finally they were characterized by hardness by Vickers microindentation and fracture toughness. The highest hardness and fracture toughness were 15 GPa and 5.5 MPa.m1/2, respectively.
