Hydroxyapatite is very-well known as the main component of hard tissues and, as such, it has attracted much attention by researchers in the recent decades. This study was aimed to present the characterization of Y₂O₃ doped 50 wt.% hydroxyapatite - 50 wt.% Al₂O₃ composite materials fabricated at relatively high temperature of 1600°C. Hydroxyapatite powder was obtained from bovine bones via calcination and ball milling technique. Fine powders ( ≤ 1 μm) of hydroxyapatite/Al₂O₃ were admixed with 0.5 and 1 wt.% Y₂O₃ powders. Powder compacts were sintered at 1600°C for 4 h in air atmosphere. The field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies following the relative density measurements were conducted. Moreover, the microhardness was studied as the mechanical property of sintered samples. The effect of increasing Y₂O₃ content on surface morphology, elemental distribution and phase evaluation was investigated in hydroxyapatite/Al₂O₃ biocomposite materials. It was found that by increasing Y₂O₃ content, the relative density increased up to 98.8%, while the hardness increased to 863 HV_{(0.2)}. The main phases, which were found, are Hibonite - CaO(Al₂O₃)₆ and beta-tricalcium phosphate - Ca₃(PO₄)₂, according to X-ray diffraction pattern.
