Popis: Strength degradation of Nextelt 610 fibers by continuous liquid phase coating was investigated for four different zirconia precursors. The precursors differed regarding their chemical composition (with or without yttrium), phase composition (amorphous or crystalline), and decomposition behavior. Phase transformation and densification of the films were characterized and found to depend on the kind of precursor. Single fiber Weibull’s strength was measured for calcination temperatures between 2501 and 11501C for all precursors. Each precursor had an individual degradation behavior. For an annealing temperature of 11501 Ch ighly damaged (B1600 MPa) and undamaged (43300 MPa) fibers were obtained depending on the kind of precursor. Fiber degradation could be correlated to mechanical stresses. Stress concentration due to inhomogeneous film thickness distribution is proposed as the cause of fiber strength degradation. Full strength could be retained for porous coatings or coatings where stresses were reduced by phase transformation.
