| Resumen en inglés | The Al2O3-ZrO2 composite was studied by impedance spectroscopy, a non destructive technique that was found to be sensitive to the composite's microstructure. The observed decrease in the zirconia grain and grain boundary conductivities points to compression on zirconia grain by alumina matrix. This effect increased with decreased concentration of zirconia in the composite. Measurements were taken of composites above the percolation threshold for vacancy conduction along the zirconia grains. The effect of densification and grain growth on the composite's conduction was measured. The changes in the zirconia grain and grain boundary specific conductivities were found to be correlated |
