Abstract

The effects of porosity on the pressureless sintered $\beta$-SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites with $Al_2O_3$ additions(4, 8, 12wt.%) under argon atmosphere were investigated. Relative density of $\beta$-SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites were decreased with the $Al_2O_3$ content. The relative density and fracture toughness of $\beta$-SiC-$ZrB_2$ with 4wt% $Al_2O_3$ are 93.2%, $1.323MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ respectively. The Vicker's hardness and flexural strength of $\beta$-SiC-$ZrB_2$ with 12wt.% $Al_2O_3$ are 0.492GPa, 261MPa respectively. Fracture toughness of $\beta$-SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites are directly proportional to relative density.
