Mechanical Properties And Microstructure Of Whisker-Reinforced Alumina-30 Vol% Glass Matrix Composite

High-density whisker-reinforced composites of an alumina-30 vol% glass matrix material were produced by hot-pressing in the temperature range 1350-1400 degrees C in air. Significant improvement was observed in the strength of composites containing 15 vol% SiC whiskers but with only a small effect on the fracture toughness.
