Abstract
This paper proposes new preparation methods for alumina-tetragonal zirconia -Ca or Sr hexaluminate composites. Two powder preparation routes were explo red. In the first, aluminium and calcium or strontium nitrate hydrates were added to alumina zirconia powders and in the second only calcium ol stront ium nitrate hydrates were used. Powders produced by the second route are to be preferred since reinforcements do not inhibit the composite sintering p rocess. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Limited. All rights reserved.
