Refractory ceramic composite material useful in a piece of structure, comprises hafnium dioxide grains of monoclinic structure, hafnium dioxide grains of cubic structure stabilized by yttrium oxide, closed pores, and open pores

摘要

The refractory ceramic composite material useful in a piece of structure, comprises hafnium dioxide grains (37-61 vol.%) of monoclinic structure (1), hafnium dioxide grains (10 vol.%) of cubic structure (2) stabilized by yttrium oxide (1 mol%), closed pores (3) having average size of 3 mu m, and 0.5 vol.% of open pores (5), which are not inter-connected. The cubic structure forms inclusions (4) in the monoclinic structure. The grains of cubic structure are allocated in a homogeneous manner in the whole volume of the ceramic material. An independent claim is included for a process for fabricating refractory ceramic composite material by powder metallurgy.
