Abstract

The platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composites were prepared by pressurelss sintering with addition of Al2O3 or SiC platelets. The sintered density of 10 vol% Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite was 98.3% at 1700$^{\circ}C$. The fracture strength (290 MPa) and fracture toughness (4.9 MPa$.${{{{ SQRT { m} }}) in the Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite were enhanced compared with those of mullite-zirconia due to the crack deflection and load transfer effect of platelets. Whereas, the SiC platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite sintered at 1650$^{\circ}C$ showed relatively lower density (95.7%), fracture strength (170 MPa), and fracture toughness (3.9 MPa$.${{{{ SQRT { m} }} than the Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite.
