Alumina blanks were prepared via isostatic pressing and sintering at 1400 deg C for 2h, whereas alumina-glass composites were prepared by infiltrating the molten glass into the partially sintered alumina compacts. Results show that zirconia notably improves the mechanical properties of the partially sintered alumina but increases that of the composites by no more than 10%.
