Abstract
ABSTRACTSubmicron and nanocrystalline grain sizes were achieved in the Al2O3-ZrO2 eutectic composition through conventional, microwave and plasma sintering of rapidly solidified starting powders and through shock compaction of commercial powders. Post sintering studies revealed nanocrystalline intragranular ZrO2 in the 1–2 μm Al2O3 grains, which is thought to be a result of the solidification synthesis. Additions of B2O3 greatly increased the final density through liquid phase sintering. Shock compression of commercial powders produced dense, crack-free, fine grained ceramics with loading pressures up to 9.1 GPa and a metastable ZrO2 phase under higher pressures.
