A matrix of yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) strengthened with Ta metal particles (20 vol.%) with lamellar shape was obtained by a wet-processing route of commercial powders and sintered by hot pressing at 1400 degrees C for 1 h. The microstructure, mechanical and fatigue properties of these novel ceramic-metal composites have been studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the mechanical properties of monolithic zirconia and new developed zirconia-Ta composite using biaxial flexural strength and cycle fatigue test. The present results show that under cyclic loading, the new ZrO2-Ta composites, have higher lifetime that biomedical grade ZrO2 material, whereas the fatigue limit of these composites have nearly the same value than the inert strength of monolithic zirconia.
