STUDY ON MICROSTRUCTURE OF NANO SiC-Al_2O_3/TiC MULTIPHASE CERAMIC COMPOSITES

The fracture modes of SiC-Al 2O 3/TiC multiphase ceramic composites were studied by SEM. Due to the introduction of nano_SiC, the fracture mode of the composite materials was mainly transgranular. The distribution of nano_SiC in the matrix was examined by TEM. The results indicate that the microstructure of the composite materials is characterized by the mixing of intergranular and intragranular phases. Some nano_SiC particles are located in the matrix granular while more are in the grain of the matrix. The mechanical performance of the materials shows that the nano particles deflect the flaws in the materials.
