Abstract
Two-phase zirconia/porous alumina layered composites with a variety of microstructures and good damage tolerance have been fabricated. The flatness of the layer microstructure can be controlled by deformation processing in the green state when the constituent ceramic powders are suspended in a fluid medium. Mismatch in deformation resistance leads to flow localization creating wavy layers without long-range coherence. Repeated folding and pressing further allows large deformation strains to accumulate and thin layers to be obtained. Under flexural loading, very high nominal strains can be sustained by successive layer fracture and delamination at the alumina-to-zirconia interface. Compared to conventional flat-layer laminates, these composites are attractive in view of their relative processing ease and their good mechanical performance.
