Abstract

Ceramics are widely used because of their excellent mechanical properties, electrical insulation properties, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Ceramic plate is one of important branch of ceramic components. However, brittle fracture caused by low toughness and high sensitivity to surface defects limits the reliability of ceramics. Therefore, there are a lot of research on strengthening and reducing defects of ceramic plate. In this work, a pre-stressed ceramic plate was obtained by a simple method, which was impregnated with a layer of alumina slurry on the surface of zirconia substrate and sintered at 1500°C. Because the expansion coefficient of alumina is lower than that of zirconia, a compressive stress is formed on the surface of plate, which can reduce the defect sensitivity and improve the bending strength of ceramic plate. Compared with the pure zirconia plate, the strength was improved with about 40%.
