Al2O3 matrix oxide/oxide composites containing rod-like Ba-β-Al2O3 and equiaxed ZrO2 particles have been successfully synthesized by an in-situ process from a mixture of Al2O3 and BaZrO3 powders.The long-axis direction of rod-like Ba-β-Al2O3 phase is parallel to ,while the longitudinal interface between Ba-β-Al2O3 phase and Al2O3 matrix is parallel to(0001) of the Ba-β-Al2O3 phase.The mechanical properties of the composites,such as Vickers hardness and fracture toughness,are enhanced with increasing the sintering temperature.Furthermore,the presence of rod-like Ba-β-Al2O3 particles results in enhancement of fracture toughness of the in-situ synthesized composites due to crack deflection and crack bridging.

The mechanical properties of the composites, such as Vickers hardness and fracture toughness , are enhanced with increasing the sintering temperature. Morerther, the presence of rod-like Ba-β-Al2O3 particles results in enhancement of fracture toughness of the in-situ synthesized composites due to crack deflection and crack bridging.
