Abstract

The average thermal residual stress in a continuous boundary phase in polycrystalline ceramic composites was calculated with a simple thin boundary layer model, and a criterion for the self-cracking of the boundary phase was derived under a certain assumption. From the proposed model, the toughness of the materials can be increased by both tensile and compressive stress at boundaries when the crack propagates transgranularly. The toughness will be increased when the stress at boundary is compressive for intergranular fracture mode. The maximum increase is predicted to be achieved at boundary phase contents below 33%. The experimental results for yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline ceramics doped with different kinds of grain-boundary phase is in a qualitative agreement with the prediction by the model, but the toughness increase is largely dependent on the distribution feature of glass phases.
