A very tough zirconia matrix is interesting to fabricate alumina-toughened zirconia (ATZ) and composites generally processed from 3Y-TZP do not exhibit very high toughness. The strategy of lowering the yttria content to increase toughness however is normally associated with an increased hydrothermal aging susceptibility. In this work, a 0.4 mol% La2O3doped 2Y-TZP matrix was investigated to realize a 20 wt.% alumina toughened zirconia composite with a substantially high aging resistance. The higher transformation toughening in the composite shifted the V-KItowards higher KIvalues, while preserving the slope of the curve, resulting in a threshold KI0of 4.0 MPa m1/2and fracture toughness (KIC) of 7.1 MPa m1/2. These composites can offer a better compromise between aging and crack resistance than traditional 3Y-TZPs and plain ATZ composites without La2O3doping.
