Mechanical properties of two types of polycrystlline {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} with different grain size were investigated. A fine grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} has a higher fracture strength and hardness. Plot of strength versus Vickers indentation load indicated that {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} has a high flaw tolerance. Hertzian indentation test using a spherical indenter was used to study elastic and plastic behavior in {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }}. Indentation stress-strain curves of each material are made to evaluate the plasticity of {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} Both find and coarse grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} showed high plasticity. In-dentation stress-strain curve of coarse grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} deviated even more from an ideal elastic limit in-dicating exceptional plasticity in this material. Deformation zones were formed below the contact as well as around the contact area in both materials but the size of deformation zone in coarse grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} was much larger than that in fine grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} Intragrain slip and kink would account for high plasticity. Plastic behavior of {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} was strongly influenced by grain size.

5.31 mol% ${Y_2}{O_3}$-4.45 mo1% ${Nb_2}{O_5}$-90.31 mo1% $ZrO_2$에 ${Al_2}{O_3}$를 첨가한 복합체를 제조하여 알루미나 입도가 복합체의 균열 전파 저항성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. $ZrO_2/{Al_2}{O_3}$ 복합체에서는 R-cuve 거동이 관찰되었으며 0.2, $2.8{\mu}m$ ${Al_2}{O_3}$가 20 vol%가 첨가된 복합체의 인성값은 각각 7.9, $8.8MPam^{1/2}$이었다. 파괴인성값의 차이는 ${Al_2}{O_3}$ 입도 크기에 의존하는 $ZrO_2/{Al_2}{O_3}$ 복합체 내의 정방정 $ZrO_2$의 결정립 크기 차이에 의한 것으로 추정된다.
