Abstract: The mechanical properties of the enamel coating were enhanced by adding tetragonal zirconium oxide (t-ZrO2). The changes in the surface strain of the enamel were researched through a three-point bending experiment, and the fracture section is analyzed by XRD, SEM, and Raman. The results show that adding a proper amount of t-ZrO2 improves the surface morphology of the enamel and reduces the number of pores. In the three-point bending experiment, the maximum force of the enamel with 2%t-ZrO2 mass content increases by 7 kN. Cracks appear under the action of 11 kN three-point bending pressure, and the strain value increases by about 37%. The t-ZrO2 enamel sample has a phase transition from t-ZrO2 to m-ZrO2 before and after the fracture. The crack deflection occurs at the boundary between the t-ZrO2 phase and the original enamel phase, which restricts the crack propagate.

Key words: enamel, zirconia phase transition, three-point bending experiment, strain analysis, crack propagate
