19、may be used for material development,material comparison, quality assurance, characterization, anddesign data generation.4.2 Generally, resistance to compression is the measure ofthe greatest strength of a monolithic advanced ceramic. Ideally,ceramics should be compressively stressed in use, althoug

20、hengineering applications may frequently introduce tensilestresses in the component. Nonetheless, compressive behavioris an important aspect of mechanical properties and perfor-mance. Although tensile strength distributions of ceramics areprobabilistic and can be described by a weakest link failuret

21、heory, such descriptions have been shown to be inapplicable tocompressive strength distributions in at least one study (1).3However, the need to test a statistically significant number ofcompressive test specimens is not obviated. Therefore, asufficient number of test specimens at each testing condi

22、tion isrequired for statistical analysis and design.4.3 Compression tests provide information on the strengthand deformation of materials under uniaxial compressivestresses. Uniform stress states are required to effectivelyevaluate any nonlinear stress-strain behavior which may de-velop as the resul

23、t of cumulative damage processes (forexample, microcracking) which may be influenced by testingmode, testing rate, processing or compositional effects, micro-structure, or environmental influences.4.4 The results of compression tests of test specimensfabricated to standardized dimensions from a part

24、icular mate-rial or selected portions of a part, or both, may not totallyrepresent the strength and deformation properties in the entire,full-size product or its in-service behavior in different environ-ments.4.5 For quality control purposes, results derived from stan-dardized compressive test speci

25、mens may be considered in-dicative of the response of the material from which they weretaken for given primary processing conditions and post-processing heat treatments.5. Interferences5.1 Test environment (vacuum, inert gas, ambient air, and soforth) including moisture content (for example, relativ

26、e humid-ity) may have an influence on the measured compressivestrength. Testing to evaluate the maximum strength potential ofa material can be conducted in inert environments or atsufficiently rapid testing rates, or both, so as to minimize anyenvironmental effects. Conversely, testing can be conduc

27、ted inenvironments, test modes, and test rates representative ofservice conditions to evaluate material performance under useconditions. When testing is conducted in uncontrolled ambientair with the intent of evaluating maximum strength potential,relative humidity and temperature must be monitored a

28、ndreported.5.2 Fabrication of test specimens can introduce dimensionalvariations which may have pronounced effects on compressivemechanical properties and behavior (for example, shape andlevel of the resulting stress-strain curve, compressive strength,induced bending, and so forth). Machining effect

29、s introducedduring test specimen preparation can be an interfering factor inthe determination of ultimate strength of pristine material (thatis, increased frequency of loading block related fractures (seeFig. 1) compared to volume-initiated fractures). Surface prepa-ration can also lead to the intro

30、duction of residual stresses.Universal or standardized test methods of surface preparationdo not exist. It should be understood that final machining stepsmay or may not negate machining damage introduced duringthe initial machining. Note that final compressive fracture ofadvanced ceramics can be att

31、ributed to the interaction of largenumbers of microcracks that are generated in the volume of thematerial and ultimately lead to loss of structural integrity. (1,2).Therefore, although surface roughness in the gage section ofthe test specimen is not as critical for determining maximumstrength potent

32、ial as it is for flexure or tension tests ofadvanced ceramics, test specimen fabrication history may play3The boldface numbers in parenthesis refer to the list of references at the end ofthis test methodFIG. 1 Schematic Diagram of One Possible Apparatus forConducting a Uniaxially Loaded Compression

33、TestC1424042an important role in the measured compressive strength distri-butions and should be reported. In addition, the nature offabrication used for certain advanced ceramics (for example,pressureless sintering, hot pressing) may require the testing oftest specimens with gage sections in the as-

34、processed condition(that is, it may not be possible or desired/required to machinesome test specimen surfaces not directly in contact with testfixture components). For very rough or wavy as-processedsurfaces eccentricities in the stress state due to nonsymmetriccross sections as well as variation in

35、 the cross-sectionaldimensions may also interfere with the compressive strengthmeasurement. Finally, close geometric tolerances, particularlyin regard to flatness, concentricity, and cylindricity of testspecimen surfaces or geometric entities in contact with the testfixture components) are critical

36、requirements for successfulcompression tests.5.3 Bending in uniaxial compression tests can introduceeccentricity leading to geometric instability of the test speci-men and buckling failure before valid compressive strength isattained. In addition, if deformations or strains are measured atsurfaces w

37、here maximum or minimum stresses occur, bendingmay introduce over or under measurement of strains dependingon the location of the strain-measuring device on the testspecimen.5.4 Fractures that initiate outside the uniformly stressedgage section or splitting of the test specimen along itslongitudinal

38、 centerline may be due to factors such as stressconcentrations or geometrical transitions, extraneous stressesintroduced by the load fixtures, misalignment of the testspecimen/loading blocks, nonflat loading blocks or nonflat testspecimen ends, or both, or strength-limiting features in themicrostruc

39、ture of the test specimen. Such non-gage sectionfractures will normally constitute invalid tests.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachinesMachines used for compression test-ing shall conform to the requirements of Practices E 4. Theforces used in determining compressive strength shall beaccurate within 61 %

40、at any force within the selected forcerange of the testing machine as defined in Practices E 4. Aschematic showing pertinent features of one possible compres-sive testing apparatus is shown in Fig. 1. Check that theexpected breaking force for the desired test specimen geometryand test material is wi

41、thin the capacity of the test machine andforce transducer. Advanced ceramic compression test speci-mens require much greater forces to fracture than those usuallyencountered in tension or flexure test specimens of the samematerial.6.2 Loading Fixtures:6.2.1 GeneralCompression loading fixtures are ge

42、nerallycomposed of two parts: (1) basic steel compression fixtures (forexample, platens) attached to the test machine and (2) loadingblocks which are non-fixed and act as the interface between thecompression platens and the test specimen. An assemblydrawing of such a fixture and a test specimen is s

43、hown in Fig.2. The brittle nature of advanced ceramics requires a uniforminterface between the loading fixtures and the test specimen.Line or point contact stresses lead to crack initiation andfracture of the test specimen at stresses less than the actualcompressive strength (that is, where actual s

44、trength is theintrinsic strength of the material not influenced by the test ortest conditions). In addition, large mismatches of Poissonsratios or elastic moduli between the loading fixture and testspecimen, or both, can introduce lateral tensile forces leadingto splitting of the compression test sp

45、ecimen. Similarly, plasticdeformation of the load fixture can induce lateral tensile forceswith the same effect.6.2.1.1 Hardened (48 HRc) steel compression platens shallbe greater in diameter ($25.4 mm) than the loading blocks andshall be at least 25.4 mm in thickness. The loading surfaces ofthe com

46、pression platens shall be flat to 0.005 mm. In addition,the two loading surfaces (loading face used to contact theloading blocks and bolted face used to attach the platen to thetest machine) shall be parallel to 0.005 mm. When installed inthe test machine, the loading surfaces of the upper and lower

47、compression platens shall be parallel to each other within 0.01mm and perpendicular to the load line of the test machine towithin 0.01 mm (2). The upper and lower compression platensshall be concentric within 0.005 mm of each other and the loadline of the test machine. Angular and concentricity alig

48、nmentshave been achieved with commercial alignment devices or byusing available hole tolerances in commercial compressionplatens in conjunction with shims (2).6.2.1.2 Loading blocks as shown in Fig. 3 shall have thesame diameter as the test specimen ends at their interface.Parallelism and flatness o

49、f faces as well as concentricity of theloading blocks shall be as given in Fig. 3. The material for theFIG. 2 Example of Basic Fixturing and Test Specimen forCompression TestingC1424043loading blocks shall be chosen to meet the following require-ments. Generally, cobalt-sintered tungsten carbide (Co-WC)has worked satisfactorily for this purpose in compression testsof a variety of advanced ceramics (2). However, for somehigh-performance advanced ceramics, other loading blockmaterials may be required to meet the requirements of 6.2.1.2.1and 6.2.1.2.2.6.2.1.2.1 Lat
