Abstract:
The fracture behavior of multilayer Si3N4/BN ceramics in bending has been studied. The materials were prepared by a process of tape casting, coating, laminating, and hot pressing. The Si3N4 layers were separated by thin, weak BN interlayers. Crack patterns in bending bars were examined with a scanning electron microscope. The weak layers deflected cracks in bending and thus prevented catastrophic failure. In one well-aligned multilayer ceramic A, a main crack propagated through the specimen although along a zigzag path. A second multilayer ceramic B was made to simulate a wood grain structure. Its failure was dominated by shear cracking along the weak BN layers. Besides crack deflection, interlock bridging between toothlike layers in the wake of the main crack appeared also to contribute to toughening.
