The deep-sea equipment in service needs to resist seawater and stress corrosion and withstand the test of load on the structure and the high pressure and strength of deep-sea environment,which has posed great challenges to the comprehensive performance of materials. High-strength ceramic materials represented by aluminum oxide possess multiple characteristics of corrosion resistance,light weight and high strength,showing great potential in the application of deep-sea equipment. In this paper,a variety of high-strength ceramic materials are analyzed and compared,and the material selection and defect requirements are discussed according to the demand of deep-sea applications,providing a reference for the development of the next generation of deep-sea equipment materials.
