Abstract The structure and mechanical properties of electrophoretically deposited t-ZrO2/Al2O3 lamellar composites are described. The fracture behavior of, and crack paths in, such composites with strong interfaces has been evaluated using indentation and 4-point bend tests. The effect of residual and induced stresses is considered. It is shown that significant crack deflection can be obtained in t-ZrO2/Al2O3 composites by incorporating a number of closely spaced, thin Al2O3 layers.
