Significance and Use4.1 This test method may be used for material development, quality control, characterization, and design data generationpurposes. This test method is intended to be used with ceram

28、ics whose flexural strength is ; 50 MPa (; 7 ;50 MPa (;7 ksi)or greater.4.2 The flexure stress is computed based on simple beam theory, with assumptions that the material is isotropic andhomogeneous, the moduli of elasticity in tension and compression are identical, and the material is linearly elas

29、tic. The averagegrain size should be no greater than 150 of the beam thickness. The homogeneity and isotropy assumptions in the test method ruleout the use of it for continuous fiber-reinforced composites for which Test Method C1341 is more appropriate.4.3 The flexural strength of a group of test sp

30、ecimens is influenced by several parameters associated with the test procedure.Such factors include the testing rate, test environment, specimen size, specimen preparation, and test fixtures. Specimen and fixturesizes were chosen to provide a balance between the practical configurations and resultin

31、g errors as discussed in Test MethodC1161, and Refs (1-3).4 Specific fixture and specimen configurations were designated in order to permit the ready comparison ofdata without the need for Weibull size scaling.4.4 The flexural strength of a ceramic material is dependent on both its inherent resistan

32、ce to fracture and the size and severityof flaws. Variations in these cause a natural scatter in test results for a sample of test specimens. Fractographic analysis of fracturesurfaces, although beyond the scope of this test method, is highly recommended for all purposes, especially if the data will

33、 be usedfor design as discussed in Ref (4) and Practices C1322 and C1239.4.5 This method determines the flexural strength at elevated temperature and ambient environmental conditions at a nominal,moderately fast testing rate. The flexural strength under these conditions may or may not necessarily be

34、 the inert flexural strength.Flexure strength at elevated temperature may be strongly dependent on testing rate, a consequence of creep, stress corrosion, orslow crack growth. If the purpose of the test is to measure the inert flexural strength, then extra precautions are required and fastertesting

35、rates may be necessary.NOTE 6Many ceramics are susceptible to either environmentally-assisted environmentally assisted slow crack growth or thermally activated slowcrack growth. Oxide ceramics, glasses, glass ceramics, and ceramics containing boundary phase glass are particularly susceptible to slow

36、 crack growth.Time dependent Time-dependent effects that are caused by environmental factors (for example, water as humidity in air) may be minimized through theuse of inert testing atmosphere such as dry nitrogen gas or vacuum. Alternatively, testing rates faster than specified in this standard may

37、 be used if thegoal is to measure the inert strength. Thermally activated slow crack growth may occur at elevated temperature even in inert atmospheres. Testing ratesfaster than specified in this standard should be used if the goal is to measure the inert flexural strength. On the other hand, many c

38、eramics such as boroncarbide, silicon carbide, aluminum nitride, and many silicon nitrides have no sensitivity to slow crack growth at room or moderately elevated temperaturesand for such materials, the flexural strength measured under in laboratory ambient conditions at the nominal testing rate is

39、the inert flexural strength.4.6 The three-point test configuration exposes only a very small portion of the specimen to the maximum stress. Therefore,three-point flexural strengths are likely to be much greater than four-point flexural strengths. Three-point flexure has someadvantages. It uses simpl

40、er test fixtures, it is easier to adapt to high temperature, and it is sometimes helpful in Weibull statisticalstudies. However, four-point flexure is preferred and recommended for most characterization purposes.4.7 The three-point test configuration exposes only a very small portion of the specimen

41、 to the maximum stress. Therefore,three-point flexural strengths are likely to be much greater than four-point flexural strengths. Three-point flexure has someadvantages. It uses simpler test fixtures, it is easier to adapt to high temperature, and it is sometimes helpful in Weibull statisticalstudi

42、es. However, four-point flexure is preferred and recommended for most characterization purposes.5. Interferences5.1 Time-dependent phenomena, such as stress corrosion and slow crack growth, can interfere with determination of the flexuralstrength at room and elevated temperatures. Creep phenomena al

43、so become significant at elevated temperatures. Creep deformationcan cause stress relaxation in a flexure specimen during a strength test, thereby causing the elastic formulation that is used tocompute the strength to be in error.5.2 Surface preparation of the test specimens can introduce machining

44、damage such as microcracks that may have a pronouncedeffect on flexural strength. Machining damage imposed during specimen preparation can be either a random interfering factor oran inherent part of the strength characteristic to be measured. With proper care and good machining practice, it is possi

45、ble to obtainfractures from the materials natural flaws. Surface preparation can also lead to residual stresses. Universal or standardized testmethods of surface preparation do not exist. It should be understood that final machining steps may or may not negate machiningdamage introduced during the e

46、arly coarse or intermediate machining.5.3 Slow crack growth can lead to a rate dependency of flexural strength. The testing rate specified in this standard may or maynot produce the inert flexural strength whereby negligible slow crack growth occurs. See Test MethodMethods C1368, and C1465,and Ref (

47、5) for more information about possible rate dependencies of flexural strength and methodologies for quantifying the ratesensitivity4 The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end of the text.C1211 1836.
