FACTORS AFFECTING THERMAL SHOCK RESISTANCE OF POLYPHASE CERAMIC BODIES
Abstract
An investigation of the factors which effect the thermal shock resistance of polyphase ceramic systems was conducted with the model system zirconium carbide-graphite. The research was divided into two areas: (1) theoretical calculations of the individual material properties, which show that the included graphite particles may be regarded as spherical pores; and (2) experimental data, which substantiate the postulate that increased thermal shock resistance is a result of an increase in the ratio of strength over Young's modulus, brought about by the addition of the low Young's modulus phase.
