Abstract
In the present study, ductile cobalt is introduced into an Al2O3-TiC cerami c to form an Al2O3-TiC ceramic matrix composite using a newly developed che mical deposition process rather than conventional powder metallurgy. Experi mental results reveal that this chemical deposition process is an effective method for improving the wetting between ceramic and metal interfaces. The resultant composite exhibits a higher fracture toughness than that without cobalt. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
