Özet

Yttria stabilized polycrystalline tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP)-tungsten carbide (WC) composites were fabricated by hot pressing. Yttria (Y2O3) stabilizer content was kept at 3 mol% to ensure the phase structure of the Y-TZP composites to be tetragonal. To increase the moderate hardness of the 3 mol% Y2O3 added TZP structure, hard WC particles were added with various proportions up to 40 vol%. The TZP/WC composites were sintered at different sintering temperatures between 1450 and 1550 degrees C.
