Brittle solids can be toughened by introducing ductile inclusions. In the present study, Al2O3/Ni composites are prepared by reducing Al2O3 and NiO powder mixtures or by reducing Al2O3/NiAl2O4 compacts in hydrogen. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the Al2O3/Ni composites are determined. Due to the thermal expansion mismatch between alumina and nickel, a circumferential crack is formed at the interface as the nickel inclusion is larger than 2 mu m. The toughness of the composites is enhanced by a crack bridging mechanism or by microcrack toughening. However, the strength of the Al2O3/Ni composites is decreased significantly as the microcracks are formed.
