Abstract
Preparation and properties of particulate composites with Y-TZP matrix and WC inclusions was studied. It was found that application of the n anometric zirconia powder gave possibility to reach composites of high densities by pressureless sintering at 1400 degrees C and 1500 degree s C. Increased fracture toughness and hardness and exceptionally high wear resistance of the composites compared to the ''pure'' TZP materia l as well as to alumina and zirconia toughened alumina was observed.
