Abstract
AbstractWe have studied the mechanical properties (Vickers microhardness H _V and fracture toughness K _C) of nanostructured CaO–ZrO_2–Al_2O_3 ceramic composites as dependent on the content of corundum (0 ≤ $$C_{Al_{2}O_{3}}$$ C A l 2 O 3 ≤ 25%) and the temperature of sintering (1250°C ≤ T _1 ≤ 1500°C). Optimum value of the corundum content ( $$C_{Al_{2}O_{3}}$$ C A l 2 O 3 = 5%) and optimum regime ( T _1 = 1300°C, 5 min; T _2 = 1200°C, 4 h) of two-stage sintering are established, which favor attaining the best mechanical characteristics of ceramic composites ( H _V = 12.25 GPa, K _C = 8.47 MPa m^1/2).
