Zirconia multilayer presents promising prospects, but there is scarce information about its microstructural and mechanical characterization. Therefore, this study sought to produce them in-house and to perform their characterization by comprising four groups of specimens to assess the biaxial flexural strength, microhardness, fracture toughness, phase characterization and quantification, fractography, and microstructural features. Weibull analysis was performed to determine the Weibull modulus and characteristic strength. The results showed that bilayers 3YSZ and 5YSZ presented intermediate mechanical properties when compared to 3YSZ and 5YSZ monolithic controls (680 MPa, 464 MPa, 885 MPa, 594 MPa, respectively). Fractographic analysis revealed that the failure origin was not at the interface in the bilayer groups, but residual stress was present between the layers. Hardness and fracture toughness were not affected by the interface.
