The invention relates to
zirconium dioxide toughened flaky aluminum
oxide-based
composite ceramic and a preparation method thereof. The invention discloses a preparation method of the
zirconium dioxide toughened flaky aluminum
oxide-based
composite ceramic. The preparation method comprises the following steps: successively adding a first dispersing agent, Al2O3
powder and ZrO2
powder, mixing, adding a second dispersing agent,
sintering to obtain the ZrO2 toughened flaky Al2O3-based
composite ceramic, wherein the first dispersing agent is prepared from PAA and PEG; and the second dispersing agent is prepared from AMP and PEG. The preparation method is simple in operation, the preparation cost is reduced, Al2O3
crystal grains in a ZTA composite
ceramic matrix has the directional growth, hascertain length-to-
diameter ratio, and is of a flaky structure; and by adopting the structure, the probability of the crack deflection and crack bridging in the breaking process can be increased, so that on the premise of not influencing the
hardness of the ZTA composite ceramics, the breaking
toughness and strength of the ZTA composite
ceramic can be significantly improved, and the problems that the shape of the existing ZTA composite
ceramic matrix Al2O3 is of an isometric morphology and the
toughness is poor can be solved.
