摘要
The effect of grain size of magnesia and its content as well as spark plasma sintering conditions on the density, grain size, strength, hardness, and toughness of alumina was investigated. Spark plasma sintering conditions were optimized at 1150 degrees C/5 min/175 degrees C/min. Addition of 100 nm magnesia gave higher density levels (99.5%), while better strength (600 MPa), hardness (25 GPa), and fracture toughness (4.5 MPa.m(1/2)) were obtained with 15 nm magnesia. The good strength and hardness is attributed to the submicrometer grain size of the matrix, and the improved toughness to the presence of Mg-rich nanoparticles and nanopores at grain boundaries.
