Abstract:Crack self-healing ability at high temperatures (>1000 °C) has been reported in alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) composites dispersed with silicon carbide. For lower self-healing temperature ranges, such as 600-800 °C, titanium carbide (TiC) has been considered as a promising healing agent. However, no investigation has been conducted on Al 2 O 3 containing a low volume (<15 vol %) of TiC. In this study, Al 2 O 3 composites dispersed with 10 vol % of micro/ nano TiC particles were prepared by a hot pressing method, then th… Show more
