Through phrase transformation analysis on ceramics samples after applied laser shock wave, study was made on micro-structure and mechanical performance transformation and transformation laws. Thus conclusions were drawn through analysis as follows: tensile stress was caused on back surface of TZP ceramics sample by laser shock wave, and further transformation was generated under tensile stress in a way that about 48% tetragonal phrases t-ZrO2 transformed into monoclinic phrases m-ZrO2, which expanded volume of and gave rises to micro-cracks, and relief stress and micro-cracks caused will absorb the energy of main cracks, which can impede expansion of main cracks and realize the aim of phrase transformation toughening.
