The physical and mechanical properties of nanometer ZrO2-ZrO2fiber composite ceramics were studied by introduction of ZrO2fiber. ZrO2composite ceramics at different sintering temperature was investigated by porosity and water absorption measurements, flexual strength and thermal shock resistance analysis. Results showed that ZrO2composite ceramics containing 15 wt% ZrO2fiber with sintering temperature of 1650°C exhibited good mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance. The porosity and the water absorption were 8.84% and 1.62%, respectively. The flexual strength was 975 MPa and the thermal shock times reached 31 times. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the microstructure of ZrO2composite ceramics.

To reinforce the mullite/Al2O3 composite ceramics through formation of mullite whiskers, the composite ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering using different AlF3 content. The microstructure, porosity, fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance of the composite ceramics were investigated. The results show that the addition of AlF3 can promote the mullite whisker formations, and the whiskers with the size of 3~10μm in diameter and a length-diameter ratio of 10~15 are obtained by sintering at 1600°C with the AlF3 content of 5wt%. Fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance of the composite ceramics are improved by the formation of mullite whisker. The fracture toughness of 4.79MPa•m1/2 can be obtained, and the 95.18% flexural strength remained after thermal shock.
