Abstract: | A novel method for preparing Al2O3/ZrO2 (Y2O3) eutectic was developed by combining combustion synthesis with melt-casting under ultra-high gravity (CSMC-UHG). The application of UHG = 800 g resulted in a high relative density of 99.8%, and an orientation-growth along the UHG direction. The microstructure was composed of aligned growth regimes containing a triangular dispersion of orderly ZrO2 rods in Al2O3 matrix with a spacing of 300 nm. The eutectic had a high fracture toughness up to 17.9 MPa·m1/2, which was mainly attributed to the nanostructure and the elastic bridge effects of the aligned ZrO2 rods. |
