Abstract

Ceramic composites containing 2 and 5vol. % of nanosized commercially available TiN and SiC particles in alumina were prepared via a water based slurry processing route followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 75 MPa in the temperature range 1200–1600°C. Some of the samples could be fully densified by use of SPS already after five minutes at 1200°C and 75 MPa. The aim was to control the alumina grain growth and thus obtain different nano-structure types. The microstructures have been correlated to some mechanical properties; e.g. hardness and fracture toughness.
