Abstract

The mechanical properties of Y2Ti2O7 ceramics have been systematically characterized. Y2Ti 2O7 shows higher hardness (12.1 GPa) than Y 2O3 and TiO2. The Young's modulus of Y 2Ti2O7 (262 GPa) is close to that of TiO 2 and 50% higher than that of Y2O3. The fracture toughness (1.9 MPa m1/2) and bending strength (206 MPa) are comparable with those of Y2O3 but half those of TiO 2. The indentation size effect on the hardness in nanoindentation tests is discussed based on the Nix-Gao model.
