The microstructural evolution in mullite/zirconia and mullite/alumina/zirconia composites after different duration heat treatments at 1570/sup 0/C has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The effect of free alumina on microstructural and mechanical parameters is also reported.
