Abstract

Alumina-matrix eutectic in situ composite ceramics present excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, which have been considered as promising next-generation ultra-high temperature structural materials. A modified laser surface processing is developed to in situ fabricate highly-dense Al2O3/YAG bulk nanoeutectic ceramics with large size and homogeneous three-dimensional network of nanoeutectic microstructure by introducing two-side remelting and high-temperature preheating. The crack and porosity are avoided, and the eutectic structure achieves a good continuous growth between two solidified layers. The eutectic phases show sharp interface bonding with a defined orientation relationship. The dislocations and crack deflection at high-density phase interfaces importantly contribute to the enhanced fracture toughness. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
