The effect of titania content on the densification, the phase transformation, the microstructures, and mechanical properties of 50 wt% Al 2 O 3 ‐50 wt% ZrO 2 (12 mol% CeO 2 ) was evaluated. Ceramic composites with different TiO 2 content (0.27, 5, 10 wt%) were prepared by pressureless sintering at low temperature (1400°C) for 2 hours in air. Dense ceramic was obtained by adding 5 wt% of TiO 2 loading to improved mechanical properties. The microstructure analysis provided lots of information about solid‐state reactivity in alumina‐zirconia‐titania ternary system. The content of TiO 2 strongly affected the phases evolution and the grain growth during sintering. Furthermore, a significant effect on mechanical properties and fracture behavior was also observed.
