Abstract

Y2O3 doped ZrO2 was incorporated into Al2O3-(W, Ti)C by hot-pressing to explore the effect of ZrO2 on the composite mixture of oxide (Al2O3) and carbide ((W, Ti)C). ZrO2 in the hot-pressed composite was identified to be a non-transformable tetragonal crystalline that has no toughening ability. The hard particulates of (W, Ti)C contribute to the toughness of the material by deflecting and bridging the propagating cracks, and the continuous interlocking skeletons of the Al2O3 phase and the (Ti,W)C phase contribute to the strengthening.
