摘要: The mechanical properties and microstructure of a hard, electrodischarge-machinable composite, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-SiC-TiC, were studied. material was fabricated by hot pressing 46.1 vol.% 3} powder, 30.9 SiC whiskers 23.0 TiC powder. Significant reaction occurred between the during processing. resultant composite consisted nearly unreacted particles, 3}, plus smaller concentrations SiC, mullite possibly mixture Al-Si-O-C. exhibited at room temperature an elastic modulus 409.6{+-}0.5 GPa, microhardness values 19-32 indentation fracture toughness (KIC) 9.6{+-}0.6 MPa(m)0.5, compressive strength as high 2.8 GPa in bending {approx}680-825 MPa.
