A heat treatment method is disclosed for improving the strength and the toughness of particle reinforced alumina composite. A densified alumina composite is heated to a temperature of higher than 600.degree. C., maintained at that temperature for about 0.5-150 hours, and then the temperature is lowered to room temperature. As a result, the flexure strength and the fracture tougnness of the particle reinforced alumina composite are substantially increased after the heat treatment in comparison to those without heat treatment.
摘要:
A method for processing a brittle substrate includes first providing a brittle substrate having a substrate surface. Then applying a first laser beam onto the brittle substrate surface to form a pre-cut groove in the brittle substrate, the first laser beam being generated by a solid-state laser device. A second laser beam is then applied onto the brittle substrate surface along the precut groove to heat the brittle substrate, the second laser beam being generated by a gas laser device. Finally, a coolant is applied onto the brittle substrate along the pre-cut groove so as to cause formation of a through crack in the brittle substrate. The first laser beam can be generated by a solid-state laser device, the first laser beam should be of narrow diameter and high energy density, so the first laser beam can form a pre-cut groove rapidly and accurately without generation of micro-cracks, in addition, the pre-cut groove should have a better uniformity and linearity.

A sintered silicon carbide (SiC) body prepared by a process which contains the steps of: (a) preparing a raw batch containing: (i) a raw silicon carbide mixture containing about 10 to about 90 weight percent of an .alpha.-phase SiC powder and about 90 to about 10 weight percent of a .beta.-phase SiC powder; (ii) aluminum oxide (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) powder, about 3 to 15 weight percent of the raw silicon carbide mixture; (iii) yttrium oxide (Y.sub.2 O.sub.3) powder, about 2 to 10 weight percent of the raw silicon carbide mixture; (iv) an organic binding agent and a dispersing agent; and (v) deionized water; (b) drying the raw batch to form a green body; (c) heating the green body at temperatures between about 400.degree. and 800.degree. C. to remove the organic binding agent and the dispersing agent; and (d) subjecting the green body to a two-stage pressureless sintering process, first at a first sintering temperature between about 1,800.degree. and about 1,950.degree. C. for 0.5 to 8.0 hours, then at a second sintering temperature between about 1,900.degree. and about 2,200.degree. C. for 0.1 to 4 hours, wherein the second sintering temperature is selected such that it is higher than the first sintering temperature. The sintered silicon carbide bodies were measured to have a flexural strength of at least 500 MPa, measured using a four-point method; and a fracture toughness of at least 5.0 MPa-m.sup.0.5, measured based on a precrack thickness of 0.15 mm.
