摘要：Directed laser deposition (DLD) is a new method for rapidly preparing melt-grown ceramics, but cracking problem greatly limited its application. In this study, cracking behavior of Al2O3 ceramics was suppressed by doping ZrO2. Crack suppression mechanism of ZrO2 doping in melt-grown ceramics was also analyzed. Process parameters which are prone to generating cracks were adopted in the experiments, and they contribute to showing the crack clearly. Results show that ZrO2 doping has remarkable crack suppression effects. It is most obvious when ZrO2 content is 37 mol%. Compared with those of pure Al2O3 ceramics, crack density reduces by 43.2%, and the number of longitudinal main cracks reduces by 63.2%. Doping of ZrO2 forms dense composite microstructure with primary alpha-Al2O3 grains discretely distributing in eutectic continuous matrix. Therefore, initial crack sources are effectively reduced. Morphology of primary Al2O3 grains transforms from cellular to dendritic, which changes crack propagation mode from inter-granular to trans-granular. Mismatch of thermo-physical properties of different phase promotes the arrest, deflection, and bridging phenomena in crack propagation, contributing to crack suppression. On the basis of ZrO2 doping, we have realized the preparation of crack-free eutectic ceramic (37 mol%ZrO2) samples through further process optimization. The maximum size of the sample reaches 230 mm.
