Abstract
A ceramic/metal nanocomposite in tetragonal zirconia-molybdenum system possesses a novel microstructural feature composed of a mutual intragranular nanostructure, in which either nanometer sized Mo particles or equivalent sized zirconia particles are located within the zirconia grains or Mo grains, respectively. It achieves a simultaneous improvement in strength and toughness that overcomes the strength-toughness tradeoff relation.
