An X‐ray method to determine the transformation zone size in ceramics containing tetragonal ZrO 2 is described. Results obtained on plane fracture surfaces of various composites were correlated to mechanical property data and TEM observations and were found to be in good agreement. This indicates that the method presented is a useful tool for estimating stress‐induced transformation zone sizes and for checking the effectiveness of tetragonal particles introduced in a ceramic matrix.
