Notes:
Multilayered composites consisting of LaPO4 (La-monazite) layers alternating with various ZrO2-based materials were fabricated to investigate whether LaPO4 provides a weakly bonded interface suitable for promoting toughening, as previously observed in the system LaPO4/Al2O3. The following ZrO2-based materials were assessed: Y-ZrO2, Y-ZrO2/Al2O3, Ce-ZrO2, and Ce-ZrO2/Al2O3. Debonding was observed in all cases. The composites containing Y-ZrO2 and Y-ZrO2/Al2O3 were stable, with no reactions, at temperatures up to at least 1600°3C. However, in the composites containing Ce-ZrO2, interdiffusion of Ce and La occurred, resulting in formation of a pyrochlore-like phase and, in the case of the Ce-ZrO2/Al2O3 composite, a (Ce,La)Al11O18 magnetoplumbite phase.
