Introduction To overcome the brittleness and increase the toughness of ceramics, laminated composites have been made. Laminated ceramic composites have been fabricated by tape casting [1,2], slip casting [3,4], electrophoretic deposition [5,6], die pressing [7], sequential centrifuging [8,9], rolling [10,11], and co-extrusion [12]. Some laminated, ceramic composite systems reported in the literature are Al2O3/ZrO2 [13,14], Al2O3/LaPO4 [15–21], YPO4/Y3Al5O12 [22], TiO2/MgSiO3 [23], Al2O3/Al2TiO5 [24], Al2O3/MoSi2CMo2B5 [25], Al2O3/ Al2O3 platelets [26], Al2O3/fluoromica [27], Al2O3/mullite [28], SiC [29], SiC/C [10,11], Si3N4 [30], and Si3N4/BN [31,32], etc. Crack deflection in Al2O3/ZrO2 laminated composites is attributed to residual stress at the interface [33]. Sarkar et al. [5] fabricated 80 alternating layers of alumina and zirconia of w1.5 mm total thickness by electrophoretic deposition. The thicknesses of the densified alumina and zirconia layers were 2 and 12 mm, respectively. Chartier et al. [13] made five different kinds of Al2O3/Al2O3–ZrO2 laminates, and measured their mechanical properties in 3-point bending, obtaining 335– 560 MPa strengths and fracture toughness of 4.6–8.0 MPa m1/2. Morgan et al. [9,34] suggested that the monazite (LaPO4)– alumina interface was weak enough to produce interfacial debonding when a crack approached the interface, and that this weak interface was maintained after 200 h at 1600 8C. Mawdsley et al. [16] fabricated alumina/monazite laminates consisting of 44–54 alternating layers of alumina and monazite after hotpressing at 1400 8C for 1–1.5 h under a pressure of 30 MPa. The thicknesses of the alumina and monazite layers after hot-pressing ofthelaminates were 150 and 125 mm, respectively. Their 4-point bend strengths ranged between 172.9 and 252.5 MPa. The laminated composites had works of fracture in the range of 0.08– 0.6 kJ/m2 . Liu et al. [31] hot-pressed Si3N4/BN laminates at 1750 8C/1.5 h under a pressure of 30 MPa. Their average bend strength and work of fracture were 430 MPa and 6.5 kJ/m2 , respectively. Clegg et al. [10] produced SiC/graphite laminated composites by sintering at 2040 8C for 30 min in an argon atmosphere. They reported that the composites had an average bend strength of 633 MPa and works of fracture in the range of 4.6–6.7 kJ/m2 . In this study, oxide/oxide laminated composite systems were fabricated by the tape casting method. Tape casting formulations for different oxides were developed.

Witco Chemicals, Houston, TX) was used as a dispersant. The binder was polyvinyl butyral (Butvar B90, Solutia Chemicals, St Louis, MS). Dibutyl phthalate (99% purity, Aldrich Chemical Inc., Milwaukee, WI) and polyethylene glycol (300NF, FCC grade, Union Carbide, Danbury, CT) were used as plasticizers. A conventional tape casting machine with double doctor blades was used. The first doctor blade openings for the strong matrix materials and crack deflecting materials were 600 and 75 mm, respectively. The second doctor blade openings were 1200 and 150 mm, respectively. The speed of casting was 1 cm/s. The procedures for making laminated composites are shown in the flow chart of Fig. 1. De-airing was carried out by rotating a ball-free suspension at a very slow speed. The laminated composite was thermo-compressed into a rectangular pellet at 34.5 MPa after being maintained for 1 h at 80 8C. The binder removal was achieved by increasing the temperature from room temperature to 150 8C at a ramp rate of 1 8C/min, then from 150 to 600 8C at a ramp rate of 0.1 8C/min, and finally by maintaining the sample at 600 8C for 2 h. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was carried out at 413.7 MPa. The sintering conditions differed depending on the particular materials. The bulk density of sintered pellets was measured by Archimedes’ method (ASTM C373). To study the chemical compatibility between oxide matrix materials and AlPO4, a Rigaku X-ray diffractometer (Model D-Max automated diffractometer, Rigaku/USA, Danvers, MA) was used. Two powders were mixed by 24 h ball milling, sintered, and analyzed for any co-existing phases by XRD. The microstructures of the laminated composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Model S-530, Hitachi, Osaka, Japan). A screw-driven universal testing machine (Model 4502, Instron Corp., Canton, MA) was used to measure flexural strengths in 3-point bend testing. The cross-head speed was 0.1 mm/min, the supporting span was 30 mm, and the specimen size was 3 mm (H)!4 mm (W)!40 mm (L). The flexural strength and work of fracture data were determined by testing 3–5 samples. The final surface polishing of specimens for bend testing were conducted by 600 grit SiC polishing paper. The work of fracture of each sample was obtained from the calculation of the area under the load–displacement curve from bend testing. 3. Results and discussion Table 1 summarizes the tape cast mixing formulations for the different oxides. The amount of powder was 25.1 vol%, except for the alumina platelets, in which case 30 vol% of powder was used. For the alumina matrix, a lower amount of binder of 3.7 vol% and higher amounts of plasticizers, i.e. 5.6 vol% of polyethylene glycol and 6.7 vol% of dibutyl pthalate, were used, because of delamination after binder removal. For the 3Y-TZP matrix, 30 vol% excess solvent was added, before and after the first ball milling, respectively, to lower the viscosity. The viscosity of the AlPO4 formulation was lowered by adding 30 vol% excess solvent before the first ball milling. To prevent possible change of their shape by breaking during mixing, alumina platelets were mixed with polymers by stirring without balls. The alumina platelets, 300 vol% excess solvent, and dispersant were mixed by stirring for 12 h. Another 12 h mixing was carried out after adding the plasticizers and binder into solution. The excess solvent was evaporated before tape casting. The morphology of the alumina platelets is seen in the SEM micrograph of Fig. 2. They had a hexagonal platelet shape, an approximate thickness of 1 mm, and size of 5–10 mm. The XRD results indicated compatibility between the oxide matrix materials and AlPO4, and are schematically summarized in Fig. 3. The mixtures of Al2O3, mullite, 50 vol% alumina$50 - vol% YAG in situ composite, 3Y-TZP and AlPO4 were sintered under the conditions of 1600 8C/3 h, 1600 8C/10 h, 1650 8C/10 h, and 1550 8C/1 h, respectively. The aluminum phosphate was compatible with alumina, mullite, and zirconia. However, AlPO4 was not compatible with the 50 vol% alumina$50 vol% YAG in situ composite matrix.

The variations of the mechanical properties of the oxide matrix materials as a function of temperature were gathered from the literatures and the results are summarized in Table 2. Alumina had a bending strength of 380 MPa at room temperature, and held 74% of its room temperature strength at 1300 8C. Mullite had a higher strength and work of fracture at 1300 8C than at room temperature. The mullite had 250 and 2.8 MPa m1/2 values for bending strength and fracture toughness, respectively, at 1300 8C. The 3Y-TZP had the highest bending strength and fracture toughness at room temperature, but the values decreased dramatically at 1000 8C. The Al2O3$YAG eutectic composite had 420 and 4.3 MPa m1/2 of bending strength and fracture toughness, respectively, at room temperature. The composite retained 100 and 91% of its room temperature bending strength and fracture toughness, respectively, at 1300 8C [54,55]. The mullite, YAG, and Al2O3$YAG eutectic composites all possessed good reported creep properties. The oxide matrix materials were sintered at different temperatures, and their physical and mechanical properties were studied. Table 3 presents the results. The densities of the sintered Al2O3, mullite, and 3Y-TZP were 98, 98, and 99% of theoretical density, respectively. The 3-point bending strengths of the alumina, mullite, 50 vol% alumina$50 vol% YAG in situ composite matrix, and 3Y-TZP were 437G13, 308G11, 361G19, and 1073G46 MPa, respectively. The average grain sizes after sintering of Al2O3, mullite, and 3Y-TZP were 2.3, 1.4 and 0.5 mm, respectively. In the case of the 50 vol% alumina$50 vol% mullite in situ composite matrix, the average grain sizes of the alumina and YAG phases were 2.1 and 2.4 mm, respectively. A SEM micrograph of the Al2O3–AlPO4 laminated composite is shown in Fig. 4. The alumina layer was dense, the aluminum phosphate layer was porous, and interphase between the two materials indicated no delamination. The results of the 3-point bending tests for the laminated composites with mullite, alumina, zirconia, and 50 vol% alumina$50 vol% YAG in situ composite as matrix materials and aluminum phosphate and alumina platelets as crack deflecting phases, are summarized in Table 4. The Al2O3– AlPO4 laminated composite showed non-brittle fracture and had a bending strength and work of fracture of 161G15, and 0.47G0.05 kJ/m2 , respectively. The 50 vol% alumina$50 - vol% YAG in situ composite matrix-AlPO4 laminated composite also showed brittle fracture and had a bend strength and work of fracture of 181G10 MPa and 0.26G0.06 kJ/m2 , respectively. The reason for this behavior is attributed to the Table 2 Mechanical properties of six oxide ceramics Bending strength (MPa) Fracture toughness (MPa$m1/2) Creep properties 25 8C 1000 8C 1300 8C 25 8C 1000 8C 1300 8C Al2O3 [47] 380 (100%) 350 (92%) 280 (74%) 3.3 (100%) 2.5 (76%) 2.4 (73%) c-Axis sapphire: best creep resistant [48] Mullite [49] 240 (100%) 240 (100%) 250 (104%) 2.3 (100%) 2.5 (109%) 2.8 (122%) Approximately an order less creep rate than that of Al2O3 [50] ZrO2 [51] 790 (100%) 200 (25%) – 7 (100%) 2 (29%) 2 (29%) – YAG [52] 230 (100%) 210 (91%) 200 (87%) 1.5 (100%) 1.3 (87%) 1.4 (93%) [110] and [111] YAG has higher creep resistance to c-axis sapphire [53] Alumina YAG eutectic composite [54,55] 420 (100%) 420 (100%) 420 (100%) 4.3 (100%) 4.1 (95%) 3.9 (91%) The creep resistance is better than that of polycrystalline YAG and that of a-axis sapphire [56] Fig. 4.
