Since it had been decided to make a ZTA–SiC composite, a minimum of 15% ZrO2 had to be taken with 85% Al2O3 to form the matrix. When this ratio was taken in natural mineral form the minimum content of SiC by volume percentage works out to be 35%. For comparison by varying SiC, 40% compositions were also made. This also explains the reason why two sources of aluminosilicates were used for the experiments. 3.2.
