Abstract
Tape casting and hot-pressing were used to produce metal/alumina lamin ate composites. The mechanical behavior of these laminates was charact erized. The strength and toughness of the laminates were greatly impro ved in comparison to that of monolithic alumina. Indentation strength values of the laminates remained approximately constant for indent loa ds between 10 and 100 N. Thus, this type of laminate appears to be a g ood candidate for damage-tolerant composite material design.
