This study focused on the crack-healing behaviour of three commercial Al2O3–ceramic-matrix composites: TiCP/Al2O3, ZrO2/Al2O3 and SiCW/Al2O3. Vickers indentation was used to introduce surface flaws with different loads of 49, 98 and 196 N. Then the cracked specimens were annealed in air for 1 h at 1000, 1200 and 1400 °C. The annealing treatment was also conducted at 1200 °C in vacuum for 1 h. Results showed that the annealing treatments increased the indentation strength, but the extent of the increase was different. When annealed in air, the main crack-healing mechanism of TiCP/Al2O3 and SiCW/Al2O3 composites was chemical reaction. When annealed in vacuum, stress relaxation caused much less strength recovery. The main crack-healing mechanism of ZrO2/Al2O3 was the existence of low melting eutectic and the rearrangement of grains caused by ZrO2(m)→ ZrO2(t) transformation in the crack-opening process zone. The effects of annealing temperature, atmosphere and indentation load on the degree of strength recovery were all related to the crack-healing mechanisms.
