Abstract

Effects of oxidation on mechanical properties has been investigated for micro- and nano-composites of Y₂O₃-SiC systems. SiC particles with mean sizes of 5 μm and 300 nm were dispersed in the former and latter material, respectively. The room temperature fracture strength and toughness increased after oxidation around 900-1000°C for both the composites; the nanocomposite showed much larger increases than the micro-composite. The micro structural observations and the residual stress measurements revealed that these improvements are mainly due to the surface compressive stress generated by the oxidized SiC particles.
