In order to improve the fracture toughness of Y₂O₃ ceramics and realize the preparation of complex structures, Al₂O₃ whiskers (Al2O3w) are introduced to toughen Y₂O₃ ceramics, and Al2O3w/Y₂O₃ complex ceramic parts are successfully prepared by binder jetting method. The effects of Al2O3w content (1%, 3%, 5%,mass fraction,the same below) on the properties of green body forming, sintering densification, and mechanical properties are systematically investigated. The results show that the addition of Al2O3w has a little effect on the porosity of the green body, but significantly optimizes the sintering process. When the content of Al2O3w is 3%, the porosity of the sintered ceramics is as low as 57.47%, the flexural strength is enhanced to 6.54 MPa. The fracture toughness reaches 2.31 MPa·m1/2, which is 2.9 times higher than that of pure Y₂O₃. Excessive addition (5%) results in a rise in porosity to 59.47% and a decrease in fracture toughness to 1.54 MPa·m1/2. Microanalysis shows that Al2O3w inhibits crack propagation through the whisker-bridging and crack-deflection mechanism, with an optimal doping amount of 3%.
