Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEAdded research report footnote to Section X3.1 editorially in September 2008.1. Scope1.1 The objective of this practi

3、ce is to provide an efficientand consistent methodology to locate and characterize fractureorigins in advanced ceramics. It is applicable to advancedceramics which are brittle; that is, the material adheres toHookes Law up to fracture. In such materials, fracturecommences from a single location whic

4、h is termed the fractureorigin. The fracture origin in brittle ceramics normally consistsof some irregularity or singularity in the material which acts asa stress concentrator. In the parlance of the engineer orscientist, these irregularities are termed flaws or defects. Thelatter should not be cons

5、trued to mean that the material hasbeen prepared improperly or is somehow faulty.1.2 Although this practice is primarily intended for labora-tory test piece analysis, the general concepts and proceduresmay be applied to component failure analyses as well. In manycases, component failure analysis may

6、 be aided by cuttinglaboratory test pieces out of the component. Informationgleaned from testing the laboratory pieces (for example, flawtypes, general fracture features, fracture mirror constants) maythen aid interpretation of component fractures.

30、TheCeramic Glossary5and Terminology C 162 and TerminologyC 242 and in a Specification C 1036. Examples of additionalterms are hard agglomerate, collapsed agglomerate, poorlybonded region, glassy inclusion, chip, or closed chip.3.28 The word “surface” may have multiple meanings. Inthe definitions abo

31、ve, it refers to the intrinsic spatial distribu-tion of flaws. The word “surface” also may refer to the exteriorof a test specimen cut from a bulk ceramic or component, oralternatively, the original surface of the component in theas-fired state. It is recommended that the terms original-surfaceor as

32、-processed surface be used if appropriate.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Prior to testing mark the specimen or component orien-tation and location to aid in reconstruction of the specimen/component fragments. Marker lines made with a pencil or felttip marker may suffice.4.2 Whenever possible, test the sp

33、ecimen(s)/component(s)to failure in a fashion that preserves the primary fracturesurface(s) and all associated fragments for further fracto-graphic analysis.5The American Ceramic Society, Westerville, OH 1984.C 1322 05b124.3 Carefully handle and store the specimen(s)/component(s) to minimize additio

34、nal damage or contaminationof the fracture surface(s), or both.4.4 Visually inspect the fractured specimen(s)/component(s)(1 to 103) in order to determine crack branching patterns, anyevidence of abnormal failure patterns (indicative of testingmisalignments), the primary fracture surfaces, the locat

35、ion ofthe mirror and, if possible, the fracture origin. Specimen/component reconstruction may be helpful in this step. Labelthe pieces with a letter or numerical code and photograph theassembly if appropriate.4.5 Use an optical microscope (10 to 2003) to examineboth mating halves of the primary frac

36、ture surface in order tolocate and, if possible, characterize the origin. Repeat theexamination of pieces as required. If the fracture origin cannotbe characterized, then conduct the optical examination with thepurpose of expediting subsequent examination with the scan-ning electron microscope (SEM)

37、.4.6 Inspect the external surfaces of the specimen(s)/component(s) near the origin for evidence of handling ormachining damage or any interactions that may have occurredbetween these surfaces and the environment.4.7 Clean and prepare the specimen(s)/component(s) forSEM examination, if necessary.4.8

38、Carry out SEM examination (10 to 20003) of bothmating halves of the primary fracture surface.4.9 Characterize the strength-limiting origin by its identity,location, and size. When appropriate, use the chemical analysiscapability of the SEM to help characterize the origin.4.10 If necessary, repeat 4.

39、6 using the SEM.4.11 Keep appropriate records, digital images, and photo-graphs at each step in order to characterize the origin, show itslocation and the general features of the fractured specimen/component, as well as for future reference.4.12 Compare the measured origin size to that estimated byf

40、racture mechanics. If these sizes are not in general agreementthen an explanation shall be given to account for the discrep-ancy.4.13 For a new material, or a new set of processing orexposure conditions, it is highly recommended that a represen-tative polished section of the microstructure be photog

41、raphedto show the normal microstructural features such as grain sizeand porosity.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is suitable for monolithic and some com-posite ceramics, for example, particulate- and whisker-reinforced and continuous-grain-boundary phase ceramics.(Long- or continuous-fiber

42、reinforced ceramics are excluded.)For some materials, the location and identification of fractureorigins may not be possible due to the specific microstructure.5.2 This practice is principally oriented towards character-ization of fracture origins in specimens loaded in so-called fastfracture testin

43、g, but the approach can be extended to includeother modes of loading as well.5.3 The procedures described within are primarily appli-cable to mechanical test specimens, although the same proce-dures may be relevant to component failure analyses as well. Itis customary practice to test a number of sp

44、ecimens (consti-tuting a sample) to permit statistical analysis of the variabilityof the materials strength. It is usually not difficult to test thespecimens in a manner that will facilitate subsequent fracto-graphic analysis. This may not be the case with componentfailure analyses. Component failur

45、e analysis is sometimesaided by cutting test pieces from the component and fracturingthe test pieces. Fracture markings and fracture origins from thelatter may aid component interpretation.NOTEKeep appropriate records, digital images, and photographs ateach step to assist in the origin characterizat

46、ion and for future reference.FIG. 1 Simplified Schematic Diagram of the FractographicAnalysis ProcedureC 1322 05b135.4 Optimum fractographic analysis requires examination ofas many similar specimens or components as possible. Thiswill enhance the chances of successful interpretations. Exami-nation o

47、f only one or a few specimens can be misleading. Ofcourse, in some instances the fractographer may have access toonly one or a few fractured specimens or components.5.5 Successful and complete fractography also requirescareful consideration of all ancillary information that may beavailable, such as

48、microstructural characteristics, materialfabrication, properties and service histories, component orspecimen machining, or preparation techniques.5.6 Fractographic inspection and analysis can be a time-consuming process. Experience will in general enhance thechances of correct interpretation and cha

49、racterization, but willnot obviate the need for time and patience. Repeat examina-tions are often fruitful. For example, a particular origin type orkey feature may be overlooked in the first few test pieces of asample set.As the fractographer gains experience by looking atmultiple examples, he or she may begin to appreciate some keyfeature that was initially overlooked.5.7 This practice is applicable to quality control, materialsresearch and development, and design. It will also serve as abridge between mechanical testing standards and statistica
