Abstract: ZrO2(3Y)/Fe3 Al composites were synthesized by HP sintering.The results show that their room flexural strength,fracture toughness and hardness(HRA)measured are 1321MPa, 36MPa·m1/2 and 86.7 respectively,and their critical temperature difierence(ΔT)of thermal shock elevates from 250℃ of ZrO2(3Y)to 500℃.The elevation of fracture toughness results from the compatible effect of crack bridge,crack deflection,stress-induced transformation toughening and the disturbing of dislocation on crack spread.

Key words: zirconia, iron aluminides intermetallic, toughening, thermal shock resistance
