Abstract: Co-precipitation methods were used to produce 20 mol% Al2O3-ZrO2 powder, from aqueous solutions of zirconium
oxychloride and aluminium chloride, followed by precipitation with ammonia. The resulting gel was calcined at 750℃. The prepared powder was sintered at 1000℃ for 1 h under
200 MPa by using the hot isostatic pressing technique. TEM micrograph showed that the average grain size of the sintered body was only about
50 nm. XRD analysis on the polished surface indicated the phase composition of the nano-ceramics was 55% t-ZrO2-39% m-ZrO2-6%
α-Al2O3.

Key words: nano-ceramics, HIP, Al2O3-ZrO2
