Abstract
Thermal shock testing of an alumina‐20 vol% SiC whisker composite showed no decrease in flexural strength with temperature differences up to 900°C. Alumina, on the other hand, normally shows a significant decrease inflexural strength with a temperature change of >400°C. The improvement in the thermal shock resistance of the composite is believed attributable to the increased fracture toughness of this material.Keywords
