The laminate composites were fabricated by tape casting method and hot-pressing. It was demonstrated that the thermal mismatch stress was closely related to the crack formation and crack deflection behavior in the mullite/zirconia laminate composites. Two kinds of cracks were observed in zirconia layers; one is channel cracks in layers subjected to tensile stress, the other is the edge cracks in layers subjected to compressive stress. Among three forms of zirconia (monoclinic, tetragonal, cubic) tetragonal zirconia was effective to deflect the crack at the interface due to the stress induced tetra-mono phase transformation.
