Abstract
The flexural strength, fracture toughness (K(IC)), creep behaviour and thermal shock of mullite-zirconia and mullite-zirconia-alumina compos ites obtained by reaction-sintering of zircon+ alumina mixtures have b een studied in the temperature interval ranging from room temperature to 1400-degrees-C. The results are discussed in terms of the microstru ctural features of the reaction-sintered composites.
