It has been reported that solidification of the Al2O3–YAG equilibrium eutectic structure follows melting of the Al2O3–YAP metastable eutectic structure. Since the exothermic heat due to solidification was consumed by the endothermic heat due to melting, a fine and uniform eutectic structure was obtained. However, the composition of the Al2O3–YAG eutectic structure is restricted to the metastable eutectic composition. In this paper, Al2O3–YAG eutectic compacts with an off-metastable eutectic composition were prepared by the addition of Al2O3particles to Al2O3–YAP eutectic particles with diameters less than 20μm. In compositions ranging from 18.5mol%Y2O3to 13.5mol%Y2O3, dense Al2O3–YAG eutectic compacts were formed without any Al2O3segregation. The flexural strength and the fracture toughness remained almost unchanged with the increase in the Al2O3phase. The addition of Al2O3particles to the Al2O3–YAP eutectic particles enabled the matrix phase to change from the YAG phase to the Al2O3phase.
