Abstract

By introducing ZrO₂ and Y₂O₃ mixed powder into the thermit, the large-scale Al₂O₃/ZrO₂ (Y₂O₃) self-growing ceramic plates were prepared from the melts through combustion synthesis under high gravity. The materials were mainly formed by randomly-orientated rod-shaped colonies with faceted structures consisting of a triangular dispersion of orderly nano-submicron ZrO₂ fibers in the Al₂O₃ matrix, surrounded by the boundary regions that contained the coarse irregular-shaped ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃ phases. The flexural strength of the self-growing ceramic plate was excellent (measured 1278MPa), and it was not only attributed to the small critical defect size caused by the fine eutectic microstructures, excellent bonding between the Al₂O₃/ZrO₂ phases and the thin inter-colony regions, but also more importantly dependent on high fracture toughness of 13.7 MPa·m^1/2, which is controlled by residual compressive stress toughening in the colonies, transformation induced toughening and transformation induced microcrack toughening mechanisms in inter-colony regions during crack propagation.
