Abstract

Alumina-zirconia (Al2O3-ZrO2) composite ceramics were prepared by means of cross spraying and hydrothermal method under atmospheric pressure with nanometer powders doped with ZrO2 as the raw material. Then, the prepared powders and ceramics were characterized by SEM, XRD and BET methods. The results showed that combining cross spraying with hydrothermal method under atmospheric pressure could improve the dispersity of the ZrO2 composite ceramics nanopowders, while adding Al2O3 accelerated the low temperature sintering for 3Y-ZrO2 and improved the bending strength, fracture toughness and density of ZrO2 composite ceramics. In addition, through optimization the bending strength and fracture toughnessof the obtained ceramic, were 1,150 MPa and 8.2 MPa∙m1/2 respectively.
