Reliability of zirconia based composites

  • 1. Univ. of Mining and Metallurgy, Dept. of Special Ceramics, Cracow (Poland)

Description

The paper summarises the results of investigation on two different composite systems with a TZP matrix: one containing tungsten carbide particles and the other - metallic tungsten grains. Composites powders were manufactured by simple mixing of constituent phases in an attritor mill and subsequently hot-pressed. Microscopic observations of sintered bodies showed that microstructures of the composites were different. Selected mechanical parameters (including of the Weibull modulus) were determined. (orig.)
