Processing-related fracture origins. III. Differential sintering of ZrO2 agglomerates in Al2O3/ZrO2 composite

Journal Article · · J. Am. Ceram. Soc.; (United States)
Large, hard ZrO2 agglomerates remained in an Al2O3/ZrO2 composite suspension after inefficient ball-milling. The ZrO2 agglomerates shrank away from the consolidated Al2O3/ZrO2 powder matrix during sintering, producing cracklike voids which were responsible for strength degradation.
