Effect of adding Y2O3 on structural and mechanical properties of Al2O3-ZrO2 ceramics

The effects of adding 1-8 wt% Y2O3on phase formation and fracture toughness of Al2O3-xZrO2-Y2O3(AZY) ceramics were studied. Phase formations of the samples were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. It was found that the major phase was rhombohedral-Al2O3, while the minor phase con...
