An Evaluation of Material for Investigation of Test Methods for Brittle Materials

Abstract

Of primary importance for the completion of the program was the production of parts with a wide range of sizes and shapes which could be made in quantity under production conditions with a minimum of material variability. Work on this program was terminated before complete reproducibility was demonstrated for all blank shapes. The material used for this investigation was a high purity alumina. Of the 13 blank types investigated, 10 demonstrated the desired uniformity and reproducibility, 1 was slightly deficient, and 2 require additional work. Attempts at demonstrating lot to lot reproducibility were generally unsuccessful.
