Elevated-Temperature-Delayed Failure of Alumina Reinforced with 20 vol% Silicon Carbide Whiskers

Alumina composites reinforced with 20 vol% SiC whiskers were exposed to applied stresses in four-point flexure at temperatures of 1000°, 1100°, and 1200°C in air for periods of up to 14 weeks. At 1000° and 1100°C, an "apparent" fatigue limit was established at stresses of ∼ 75% of the fast fracture strength. However, after long-term (>6 weeks) tests at 1100°C, some evidence of crack generation as a result of creep cavitation was detected. At 1200°C applied stresses as low as 38% of the 1200°C fracture strength were sufficient to promote creep deformation and accompanying cavitation and crack generation and growth resulting in failures in times of <250 h.     

Fabrication, Microstructural Characterization, and Mechanical Properties of Polycrystalline t'-Zirconia

Large-grained (100- to 200-μm), yttria-doped, polycrystalline t '-zirconia ceramics were fabricated by heat-treating presintered samples at temperatures 2100°C. Polarized light microscopy revealed the ferroelastic domain structure in the t ' samples. XRD showed that no monoclinic phase was detected on as-polished, ground and fracture surfaces, or on surfaces while under a tensile stress as high as 400 MPa. By contrast, relative changes occurred in the tetragonal peak intensities, which were attributed to ferroelasatic domain switching. The higher toughness of 3-mol%-Y₂O₃-doped t ' samples (7.7 MPa · m^1/2) compared to that of 8 mol% Y₂O₃ cubic samples (2.4 MPa · m^1/2) was explained in part by ferroelastic domain switching.     

Cyclic Fatigue-Crack Propagation in Magnesia-Partially-Stabilized Zirconia Ceramics

The subcritical growth of fatigue cracks under (tension-tension) cyclic loading is demonstrated for ceramic materials, based on experiments using compact C(T) specimens of a MgO-partially-stabilized zirconia (PSZ), heat-treated to vary the fracture toughness K _c from ∼3 to 16 MPa·m^1/2 and tested in inert and moist environments. Analogous to behavior in metals, cyclic fatigue-crack rates (over the range 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁵ m/cycle) are found to be a function of the stress-intensity range, environment, fracture toughness, and load ratio, and to show evidence of fatigue crack closure. Unlike toughness behavior, growth rates are not dependent on through0-thickness constraint. Under variable-amplitude cyclic loading, crack-growth rates show transient accelerations following low-high block overloads and transient retardations following high-low block overloads or single tensile overloads, again analogous to behavior commonly observed in ductile metals. Cyclic crack-growth rates are observed at stress intensities as low as 50% of K _c , and are typically some 7 orders of magnitude faster than corresponding stress-corrosion crack-growth rates under sustained-loading conditions. Possible mechanisms for cyclic crack advance in ceramic materials are examined, and the practical implications of such "ceramic fatigue" are briefly discussed.     

Microstructure-Mechanical Property Relationships in Hot Isostatically Pressed Alumina and Zirconia-Toughened Alumina

The rates of densification and the mechanical properties of pure Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂-toughened Al₂O₃ (ZTA) have been investigated as a function of the temperatures and time schedules used for hot isostatic pressing (HIP) as a postsintering heat treatment for samples which had already been pressureless sintered in air at 1460°C for 45 min. ZTA hot isostatically presed at 1400°C had a finer grain size and a narrower grain size distribution than ZTA hot isostatically pressed at 1600°C. At both HIP conditions, the density which could be obtained was almost the maximum theoretical density. The amount of grinding-induced and fracture-induced monoclinic ZrO₂ formed as a result of the tetragonal → monoclinic martensitic transformation in ZTA was higher in the samples hot isostatically pressed at 1400°C. ZTA hot isostatically pressed at 1600°C and 100 MPa had fewer flaws and higher strengths than ZTA hot isostatically pressed at 1400°C for the same time, with a gradual improvement in mechanical properties with increasing HIP time at each of these two temperatures. The best mechanical properties were obtained from ZTA hot isostatically pressed at 100 MPa and 1600°C for 1 h: these specimens had a four-point bend strength of 940 ± 15 MPa at room temperature and 540 ± 15 MPa at 1000°C and an indentation fracture toughness at room temperature of 9.4 ± 0.2 MPa·m^1/2.     

R-Curve Behavior of Long Cracks in Alumina

Coarse-grained alumina is among those monolithic ceramics which can exhibit an increase in crack resistance with crack extension. This R -curve behavior is most pronounced for intergranular fracture and does not depend exclusively on material properties. Crack and specimen geometries also influence the shape of the R -curves. The magnitude of the effect increases with increasing crack surface roughness, which is microstructure-dependent, and with crack-opening displacement, which is geometry-dependent. Based on experimental observations, a "dynamic" R -curve model is presented which relates the increasing resistance to an increasing crack tip shielding caused by crack surface bridging. Applying a J -integral approach, R -curves are calculated for two specimen geometries (short double cantilever beam and single-edged notched beam) and different grain sizes. The good agreement between calculation and experiment indicates that the R -curve behavior of long cracks in alumina can be predicted by a simple wake model.     

Use of Crack Branching Data for Measuring Near-Surface Residual Stresses in Tempered Glass

An analytical procedure based on fracture mechanics is used to obtain the amount of residual stress in glass from measurements on the fracture surface. The technique utilizes the measurement of microcrack branching distances, known as the mirror — mist boundary, which occur at a critical crack branching stress intensity (K _m ) value. This procedurre shows that σ _A r _m ^1/2 Y _F (θ) =σ _R r ^1/2 _m +Ψ₀, where σ _A is the applied stress, r _m is the microcrack branching radius, σ _R is the residual stress, Y _F ( θ ) is the crack-border correction factor, and Ψ₀ is a material constant based on K _m . Thus, the equation is that of a straight line with the slope equal to the magnitude of the residual stress. Data for tempered glass from the literature are used to demonstrate the applicability of the technique.

Some aspects of the role of coal thermoplasticity and coke structure in coal gasification. 1. The effect of rank on high pressure dilatometry parameters

The thermoplastic properties of ten coals of rank 301a to 902 in the NCB Classification Scheme have been investigated using a high pressure dilatometer. The results show that the swelling behaviour of a coal at high pressure cannot be accurately predicted from a single measurement under standard conditions (3°C min^?1, 0.1 MPa). The data also clearly show that the large differences in dilatation observed under standard conditions for the range of coals investigated are much reduced at high pressures, e.g. > 4 MPa. The trends in dilatometry parameters in relation to rank and pressure are discussed in detail. The relative order of coals based on dilatation may change with increase in pressure and this mainly occurs in the pressure range up to 2.5 MPa. The results suggest that the characterization of coals for high pressure gasifiers should include measurements under simulated gasifier conditions rather than standard tests at atmospheric pressure.     

The Effects of Heat Treatment on Some Mechanical Properties of Juvenile Wood and Mature Wood of Eucalyptus grandis

Heat treatment is a well-known method for modifying wood that is applied in different ways, and treatment schedules change from tree to tree. This treatment improves the physical properties of wood but, in general, it reduces the mechanical properties of wood. The effects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of juvenile and mature wood of the same tree species have not been well-defined. Therefore, we focused our study on the differences in the mechanical properties of juvenile wood and mature wood of Eucalyptus grandis after both were subjected to heat treatment. Wood samples were treated at temperatures of 120, 150, and 180°C for 4, 6, and 8 h. The test results showed that decreases in the mechanical properties of juvenile wood (e.g., modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), compression strength (CS), and impact bending (IB)) were greater than the decreases that occurred in mature wood that was heat treated at the same conditions.
