Microstructural evaluation of thermally fatigued SiC-reinforced Al2O3/ZrO2 matrix composites
2005
Using the water-quenching technique, the thermal fatigue behaviour of an alumina/zirconia and platelets- and particulates-SiC reinforced alumina/zirconia matrix composites hot-pressed at 1500 and 1700∘C has been studied. The addition of 10 wt% SiC either in the form of platelets or particulates can obviously improve the thermal fatigue resistance of alumina/zirconia composites. The damages present after 40 thermal fatigue cycles in the composites was illustrated by the microstructure examinations and EDX.
