Abstract

Abstract A zirconia film formed on a substrate and having substantially one or two kinds of particular planes such as (200), (111) or (111) planes only oriented in parallel to the surface of the substrate, and a process for preparing it. This zirconia film is dense, and improved in the thermal resistance, thermal insulation properties and corrosion resistance.
