Abstract
The effect of SiC particulate dispersoids on the fracture toughness and strength of hot-pressed Al2O3-based composites was evaluated. Addition of 20 vol % SiC particulates was found to increase both the fracture toughness and strength of Al2O3. The relationships between mechanical properties and SiC additions are discussed.
