Abstract
A technique is presented whereby compressive surface stresses are introduced into transformation‐toughened ZrO2 ceramics by removing the stabilizing oxides, such as Y2O3, from the surface. The advantages of this approach over other techniques are discussed, and experimental data confirming the presence of compressive surface stresses and subsequent improved resistance to indentation cracking are described.Keywords
