Abstract
Al2O3:ZrO2 ceramics have been prepared from physically mixed pure oxid e powders. The results indicate that careful processing of the startin g powders and a two-stage sintering process can avoid expensive proces sing methods like hot pressing/hot isostatic pressing used for achievi ng high densification. The mechanical properties were measured and the resultant microstructure studied to explain the toughening behaviour of this material.
