3Y-TZP/12Ce-TZP 의 3층 5층 복합체를 슬립주입법으로 제조하고, 그 기계적 성질을 검토하였다. 지름-원반압축시험법으로 구한 다층복합체의 파괴강도는 327~534MPa이었다. Vickers압입하중의 증가(~300N)와 더불어 압입강도는 전반적으로 감소하였으나, 다층물질은 단상물질에 비하여 우수한 손상저항을 나타내었다. 49N의 하중으로 압입후 다층물질의 4점 꺽임강도는 620~674MPa 인데 반하여 단상 물질의 경우는 129~339MPa을 나타내었다. 압자압입에 의한 다층물질의 인서은 $7.7~13.1;MPa{cdot}m^{1/2}$ 정도를 나타내었다.
Three- and five-layer 3Y-YZP/12Ce- TZP composites prepared by a slip casting method have been characterized in terms of mechanical properties. The fracture strength of mutilayer c$alpha$nposites determined in a diametral compression test was 327~534 MPa. Although the indentation strength of the materials was generally reduced with i increasing Vickers indentation load up to 300 N, the damage resistance of multilayer composites was superior compared to monolithic layer TZP material. The four-point bend strength of the layered material remained at the values of 620~674 MPa after indentation with a load of 49 N, while that of the monolithic TZP material was 129~339 MPa. The microindentation toughness of the multilayer material was $7.7~13.1;MPa{cdot}m^{1/2}$.
