Abstract
Abstract Brittle solids can be toughened by introducing ductile inclusions. In the present study, nickel inclusions are incorporated into an alumina matrix. Three processing routes are investigated, namely (1) a powder metallurgy route, (2) a gas reduction route, and (3) a reaction sintering route. Optimal processing conditions for each route are explored. The properties of the resulting composites are measured and compared in the light of the respective routes and microstructures.
