Toughening Ceramics by Adding Two Toughening Agents

摘要

The applications of ceramics for structural components are often limited by their brittleness. The toughness of ceramics can be improved by adding one toughening agent, such as zirconia Particles or metallic particles. The present study explores the toughening behavior of the composites Containing two toughening agents. Our results suggest that the toughness of ceramics can also be Improved significantly by adding both zirconia particles and metallic inclusions simultaneous. In the Present sty, both metallic (Silver or nickel) inclusions and zirconia inclusions are added into Alumina.
