Abstract

Al2O3-Y3Al5O12-ZrO2 ternary eutectic oxide ceramic was prepared by flash sintering the corresponding powder. The highly dense sample was obtained at relatively low temperature and very short time with the assist of dc electric field. As-prepared ceramics well preserve the phase composition and microstructure of the original eutectic powder. The ceramic exhibits relatively high hardness and high fracture toughness. These results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of employing the flash-sintering technique to fabricate eutectic ceramics.
