Abstract
Highly dense Al2O3/GdAlO3/ZrO2 eutectic ceramics are one-step additively manufactured by laser directed energy deposition technique under different scanning speed to investigate the inherent response relationship between processing parameter, microstructure, and mechanical property. During the layer-wise deposition process, planar-cellular transition occurs near the bottom of the molten pool, leading to the transformation of irregular eutectic structure into eutectic colony structure lengthened along the building direction, accompanied by the refinement of microstructure dimension. With the increase of scanning speed, the eutectic spacing decreases, and the initially irregular “Chinese script” eutectic ultimately transforms into hexagonally arranged rod-like eutectic structure induced by lamellar instability. The rod spacing is 1.136 times larger than the lamellar spacing. The mechanical property of the laser 3D-printed Al2O3/GdAlO3/ZrO2 eutectic ceramic is manifested as isotropic. The hardness increases with the refinement of the microstructure, while the fracture toughness decreases as the eutectic morphology transforms into rod-like structure. The averaged hardness and fracture toughness are 16.27 GPa and 3.39 MPa‧m1/2, respectively.
