The crack behaviors of yttrium-stabilized zirconia during laser drilling in air, vacuum, and water environments were investigated. Due to the high stress and low fracture toughness induced by tetragonal-monoclinic phase transformation, tremendous cracks occur during drilling in air. Contrastly, cracks were reduced in vacuum drilling since the phase transformation was suppressed due to the generation of oxygen vacancies. By protection of water, no cracks were observed due to low stress and maintained fracture toughness. The crack mechanisms in different drilling media were discussed.
