Abstract
New Al2O3/Y3Al5O12(YAG)/ZrO2 ternary Melt Growth Composites (MGCs) with a novel microstructure have been fabricated by unidirectional solidification. These MGCs displayed superior high-temperature strength characteristics. The flexural strength increases progressively in the range 650–800 MPa with a rise in temperature from room temperature up to 1873 K. These excellent high-temperature characteristics are closely linked to such factors as: a microstructure consisting of three-dimensionally continuous and complexly entangled single-crystal Al2O3 with a hexagonal structure, single-crystal YAG with a garnet structure and fine ZrO2 with a cubic structure; characteristic dimensions of the microstructure of Al2O3/YAG/ZrO2 ternary eutectic ceramics of around 2–3 μm for YAG, around 2–3 μm for Al2O3 and around 0.4–0.8 μm for ZrO2; and the fact that no amorphous phase is formed at interfaces between any of the phases.
