Study of structural characteristics and mechanical properties of ceramic composites based on ZrO2-20%Al2O3 manufactured by additive method

Abstract

The results of experimental studies of the structural characteristics and mechanical properties of ATZ ceramic composites manufactured by an additive method are presented. It is shown that the average grain size of both oxides increases with the sintering temperature. An X‑ray diffraction analysis shows that the sintering temperature does not affect the crystal structure of the studied ceramic composites. The ATZ three-point bending tests demonstrated high flexural strength comparable to traditional methods.
