Fabrication and characterisation of Al2O3–ZrO2 functionally graded ceramics via DLP-based additive manufacturing

Key Points

• Enhanced mechanical and thermal properties distinguish Al2O3–ZrO2 ceramics from traditional options, which promotes their use in demanding applications.
• Characterization techniques demonstrate specific performance metrics, including tensile strength and thermal conductivity, in fabricated ceramics.
• The method employed for fabrication is DLP-based additive manufacturing, which allows for precise layering and material distribution.
• Findings underscore the significance of functionally graded ceramics; external validation in real-world scenarios remains crucial.
