摘要
Mullite-Mo composites of different compositions (0-100 vol.% Mo) were sintered to near theoretical density by pulse electric current sintering (PECS). The densification behaviour and the microstructure of mullite-Mo composites as a function of Mo content were studied. The addition of 10 vol.% Mo significantly enhanced the strength and toughness of monolithic mullite to 556 MPa and 2.9 MPa M-1/2, respectively. SEM observations revealed the modification of discrete isolated Mo particles to continuosly interconnected network with the increase in the Mo content. Mo grains were located at the grain boundaries as well as inside the mullite grains. The addition of Mo to monolithic mullite led to a change in the fracture mode. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
