▎ 摘 要
The effect of added graphene flakes on the mechanical properties of a composite containing 20 wt% Al2O3 and 80 wt% ZrO2 (stab. 3 mol% Y2O3) was studied. To obtain samples, a commercial ceramic powder produced by Tosoh (Japan), and graphene oxide (GO) made at the Institute of Electronic Materials Technology (Poland) were used. The obtained composites were based on aqueous mixtures of both components. After drying, they were sintered in an uniaxial pressure (HP) furnace. The composites contained from 0% to 3% of GO by weight. Results showed the influence of GO content i.e. fracture toughness has a maximum for 0.02% GO (increase by 42% in comparison to GO-free matrix) and afterwards decreased, strength decreased in the whole GO content range. Young's modulus and Vickers hardness remained constant up to 0.2% GO, and then decreased.
