This paper describes the decomposition behavior of zirconium tungstate (ZrW 2 O 8 ) materials above 1 050 K. The materials are synthesized according to a sol–gel‐route and a solid‐state route, and have been characterized with respect to their crystallographic properties. Apart from the initial phase and decomposition products ZrO 2 and WO 3 , the additional phase γ‐ZrW 2 O 8 is found, which results from a phase transition initiated by local pressures higher than 200 MPa. Residual stresses induced by the thermal mismatch between different phases within the composite material are found to be 1.15 GPa(ZrO 2 /ZrW 2 O 8 ) and 1.26 GPa (WO 3 /ZrW 2 O 8 ). Obtained stress values are high enough to induce this transition.
