Laminar Ceramic Composites

摘要

The processing of laminar ceramic composites from stacking of layers obtained by tape casting is described. In the case of composites for structural applications, the reinforcement mechanisms are briefly reviewed. It is shown that both strength and toughness can be improved. The evaluation of residual stresses allows a strategy for tailoring the mechanical properties of such composites to be developed. As an example, results are given in the case of laminar composites with layers made of alumina with various zirconia contents.
