The influence of the molar ratio of Al2O3to Y2O3(i.e. [Formula: see text] ) on sintering densification, microstructure and the mechanical properties of a SiC–Al2O3–Y2O3ceramic composite were studied. It was shown that the optimal value of [Formula: see text] was 3/2, not 5/3, which is customarily considered the optimal molar ratio for the formation of YAG (Y3Al5O12) phase. When [Formula: see text] is 5/3, materials existed in two phases of YAG and very little YAM phases. The sintering mechanism of the solid phase occurred at 1850°C. When [Formula: see text] was 3/2, materials existed in the two phases YAG (Y3Al5O12) and YAM (Y4Al2O9). The formation of the low melting point eutectic liquid phase (YAG+YAM) increased sintering densification. Flexure strength, hardness and relative density were all higher.
