Al2O3/Ti2 AlN composites were prepared by vacuum hot pressing,which Al2O3 particles as strengthening phase were in situ formed.In this paper,the Vickers hardness of hot-pressed composites under different loads at room temperature was measured,the morphology of indentation cracks was observed,and the fracture toughness of composites was obtained by indentation equation.The compression deformation of as hot-pressed composites at different temperatures was studied,and the morpholog...
