Abstract
Graded Al2O3/Y-ZrO2 ceramics are developed to receive a construction material
combining favourable properties of both constituent components, alumina (low wear rate, high
hardness) and zirconia (high strength and toughness). The high performance of this material can be
reached by optimising the internal residual stress distribution resulting mainly from phase specific
stresses after cooling from the sintering temperature. For this purpose, non-destructive neutron
diffraction mapping of residual stresses has been employed. However, the application of the
conventional method does not provide straightforward results on macroscopic residual stresses. This
experimental technique uses the crystal lattice plane as a built in microscopic strain gauge and the
measured quantities are then lattice strains detected in each constituent phase separately. Based on
these experimental resources, the paper proposes a procedure of separation of the residual
macroscopic stress from phase specific stresses. The application of the presented method is
demonstrated on functionally graded materials (FGM) prepared by electrophoretic deposition
(EPD).
