This test method provides the empiricalparameters for appraising the relative SCG susceptibility ofceramic materials under specified environments. Furthermore,this test method may establish the influences of processingvariables and composit

In summary, this test method may be used formaterial development, quality control, characterization, andlimited design data generat

28、ion purposes. The conventionalanalysis of constant stress-rate testing is based on a number ofcritical assumptions, the most important of which are listed inthe next paragraphs.4.2 The flexural stress computation for the rectangular beamtest specimens or the equibiaxial disk flexure test specimens i

29、sbased on simple beam theory, with the assumptions that thematerial is isotropic and homogeneous, the moduli of elasticityin tension and compression are identical, and the material islinearly elastic. The average grain size should be no greaterthan one-fiftieth of the beam thickness.4.3 The test spe

30、cimen sizes and fixtures for rectangularbeam test specimens should be in accordance with Test MethodC1161, which provides a balance between practical configura-tions and resulting errors, as discussed in Refs (4, 5). Onlyfour-point test configuration is allowed in this test method forrectangular bea

31、m specimens. Three-point test configurationsare not permitted. The test specimen sizes and fixtures for disktest specimens tested in ring-on-ring flexure should be chosenin accordance with Test Method C1499. The test specimens fordirect tension strength testing should be chosen in accordancewith Tes

32、t Method C1273.4.4 The SCG parameters (n and D) are determined by fittingthe measured experimental data to a mathematical relationshipbetween strength and applied stress rate, log f= 1/(n+1) log + log D. The basic underlying assumption on the derivation ofthis relationship is that SCG is governed by

33、 an empiricalpower-law crack velocity, v=AKI/KICn(see Appendix X1).NOTE 3There are various other forms of crack velocity laws whichare usually more complex or less convenient mathematically, or both, butmay be physically more realistic (6). It is generally accepted that actualdata cannot reliably di

34、stinguish between the various formulations.Therefore, the mathematical analysis in this test method does not coversuch alternative crack velocity formulations.4.5 The mathematical relationship between strength andstress rate was derived based on the assumption that the slowcrack growth parameter is

35、at least n 5 (1, 7, 8). Therefore, ifa material exhibits a very high susceptibility to SCG, that is, n2000 MPa/s) mayremain unchanged so that a plateau is observed in the plot ofstrength-versus-stress rate (7). If the strength data determinedin this plateau region are included in the analysis, a mis

36、leadingestimate of the SCG parameters will be obtained. Therefore,the strength data in the plateau shall be excluded as data pointsin estimating the SCG parameters of the material. This testmethod addresses for this factor by recommending that thehighest stress rate be 2000 MPa/s.NOTE 5The strength

37、plateau of a material can be checked bymeasuring an inert strength in an appropriate inert medium.NOTE 6When testing in environments with less than 100 % concen-tration of the corrosive medium (for example, air), the use of stress ratesgreater than 1 MPa/s can result in significant errors in the slo

38、w crackgrowth parameters due to averaging of the regions of the slow crackgrowth curve (9). Such errors can be avoided by testing in 100%concentration of the corrosive medium (for example, in water instead ofhumid air). For the case of 100 % concentration of the corrosive medium,stress rates as larg

39、e as 2000 MPa/s may be acceptable.5.3 Surface preparation of test specimens can introducefabrication flaws which may have pronounced effects on SCGbehavior. Machining damage imposed during specimen prepa-ration can be either a random interfering factor or an inherentpart of the strength characterist

40、ics to be measured. Surfacepreparation can also lead to residual stress. Universal orstandardized test methods of surface preparation do not exist. Itshould be understood that the final machining steps may ormay not negate machining damage introduced during the earlycoarse or intermediate machining

41、steps. In some cases, speci-mens need to be tested in the as-processed condition tosimulate a specific service condition. Therefore, specimenfabrication history may play an important role in slow crackgrowth as well as in strength behavior.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachineTesting machines used for thi

42、s testmethod shall conform to the requirements of Practices E4.Specimens may be loaded in any suitable testing machineprovided that uniform test rates, either using load-controlled ordisplacement-controlled mode, can be maintained. The loadsused in determining strength shall be accurate within 61.0

43、%at any load within the selected load rate and load range of thetesting machine as defined in Practices E4. The testing machineshall have a minimum capability of applying at least four testrates with at least three orders of magnitude, ranging from 101to 102N/s for load-controlled mode and from 107t

The mate-rials from which the test fixtures including bearing cylindersare fabricated shall be e

45、ffectively inert to the test environmentso that they do not react with or contaminate the environment.NOTE 7For testing in water, for example, it is recommended that theC1368 10 (2017)3test fixture be fabricated from stainless steel which is effectively inert towater. The bearing cylinders may be ma

46、chined from hardenable stainlesssteel (for example, 440C grade) or a ceramic material such as siliconnitride, silicon carbide, or alumina.6.2.1 Four-Point FlexureThe four-point14-point fixtureconfiguration as described in 6.2 of Test Method C1161 shallbe used in this test method.
