The present work is concerned with the thermal shock behavior of a ceramic matrix composite consisting of an alumina base containing 5vol% of copper particles. The composite, hot-pressed at 1550°C, exhibited increased flexural strength, enhanced toughness and higher resistance to thermal shock compared with monolithic alumina. Some mechanical and thermal properties relevant to thermal shock were discussed which gave plausible explanations for the differences between the composite and the monolithic alumina.
