Influence of technological factors on structure and properties of Alumina-Zirconia ceramics

The article is devoted to the investigation of alumina-zirconia ceramics properties depending on its production technology. Analysis of the technological factors that allow acquiring fine-grained structure as well as high physical and mechanical properties of alumina-zirconia ceramics is presented in the paper. It is shown that when using magnetic pulse compaction due to the pulse impact and adiabaticity of the process the most compact structure is formed. It is possible to obtain pressings with the density of up to 68% of the theoretical value. The obtained compact structure secures high physical, mechanical, and operating characteristics of the finished product.
