Abstract

Zirconia dispersed mullite ceramics were fabricated through hot-pressinq at a pressure of 25 MPa from the amorphous material of 2Owt%ZrO2-8Owt%(3Al2O3 2SiO2) obtained by rapid quenching of the melts. The densification was initiated at ∼950°C and accelerated by crystallization of mullite and t-ZrO2 to yield almost pore free samples about 1050°C. This sample seemed to contain Si02-rich glassy phase in addition to A12O3-rich mullite and t-ZrO2 The further heat-treatments with/without pressing brought about the reaction between the Si02-rich glassy phase and the A1203-rich mullite phase to yield nearly stoichiometric mullite. and growth of the mullite grains and the t-ZrO2 particles up to 1 u m in size at 1600°C. The TEM observation revealed a duplex microstructure of twinned m-ZrO2 at the triple points and fine t-ZrO2 in the center of the mullite grains. The fracture toughness of the specimen increased with hot-pressing temperatures up to 2.2 MPam1/2 in the samples at 1600°C.
