Abstract
Crack healing behavior of hot-pressed TZ3Y20A-SiC ceramics has been investigated by high-temperature oxidation. Semi-elliptical surface cracks with a length of 100 μm have been set on the tensile side of each specimen using a Vickers hardness indenter. Based on flexural strength and observations of crack appearance, the effect of crack healing is finally judged. Cracks on ZrO 2(Y2O3)-Al2O3 (TZ3Y20A) ceramics cannot be healed by heat treatment. However, for TZ3Y20A-SiC ceramics, complete crack-healing has been realized by heat treatment at 800 C, 1000 C and 1100 C for 30 h, 10 h and 5 h, respectively. The crack-healing mechanism is attributed to the formation of SiO2 caused by high temperature oxidation during heat treatment.
