The influence of microstructure on the fracture toughness of alumina-iron ceramic matrix composites

The incorporation of a ductile second phase into a monolithic ceramic is a well-established toughening technique. This study is concerned with the toughening of alpha-alumina/20 vol% iron ceramic matrix composites. The main emphasis has been to investigate the effect of the morphology of the iron on...
