N2 - Directionally solidified Al2O3/YAG/YSZ ceramic in situ composite is an interesting candidate for the manufacture of turbine blade because of its excellent mechanical property. In the present study, two directionally solidified hypoeutectic and hypereutectic Al2O3/YAG/YSZ ceramic in situ composites are prepared by laser zone remelting, aiming to investigate the solidification behavior of the ternary composite with off-eutectic composition under high-temperature gradient. The results show that the composition and laser scanning rate significantly influence the solidification microstructure. The ternary in situ composite presents ultra-fine microstructure, and the eutectic interspacing is refined with the increase of the scanning rate. The Al2O3/YAG/YSZ hypoeutectic ceramic displays an irregular hypoeutectic network structure consisting of a primary Al2O3/YAG binary eutectic and fine Al2O3/YAG/YSZ ternary eutectic. Only at low scanning rate, homogeneous ternary eutectic-like microstructures are obtained in the hypoeutectic composition. Meanwhile, the Al2O3/YAG/YSZ hypereutectic ceramic shows homogeneous eutectic-like microstructure in most cases and the eutectic interspacing is finer than the ternary eutectic. Furthermore, the formation and evolution mechanism of the off-eutectic microstructure of the ternary composite are discussed.
