Flexure Strength of Advanced Ceramics - A Round Robin Exercise

Abstract

A mechanical testing round robin exercise was performed under the auspices of The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP). TTCP is a collaboration between the defense establishments of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. TTCP coordinates and shares results from research activities. The work reported was performed by panel P-TP-2, Ceramic Materials, and was concluded in 1987. Flexural strength at room temperature was measured for a sintered alumina and a reaction-bonded silicon nitride. These tests are relevant to advanced structural ceramics. The goal of the exercise was to determine if accurate and consistent results could be obtained by the participants using various test procedures. Keywords: Structural ceramics; Silicon nitride; Alumina; Flexure strength; Mechanical tests; Fractography; Round robin testing; Weibull modulus.
