Abstract

3Y-ZrO2/(3Y-ZrO2+Ni) sandwich ceramics were fabricated through cold isostatic pressing and pressureless sintering. Porous 3Y-ZrO2 ceramics with large connecting open pores and permeability were used as interlayers for insulation, whereas outer metal-ceramic layers were used as bearing loads. Microstructures and properties of the porous ZrO2 and ZrO2/(ZrO2+Ni) sandwich ceramics were investigated in detail. The ZrO2/(ZrO2+Ni) sandwich ceramics exhibited better mechanical properties than the monolithic porous ZrO2 ceramics at the same low thermal conductivity (approximately 0.85W/mK). The mechanical properties of the sandwich ceramics were influenced by metal toughening and sintering-induced residual thermal stress.
