Abstract

Crack disappearance by high-temperature oxidation was studied in alumina (Al2O3) composites toughened by Ni nanoparticles. This process is performed in air at temperature ranging from 1000 to 1300°C for 1 to 48 h. The results showed that crack disappearance depends on both annealing temperature and time. Complete crack disappearance in this composite was confirmed at lower temperatures for long oxidation period, 1100°C for 48 h, and higher temperature for shorter time, 1300°C for 1 h in air. The crack disappearance mechanism was explained on the basis of the formation of NiAl 2O4 spinel on sample surfaces produced by the oxidation reaction during the heat treatment.
