Abstract

The test system was newly developed for evaluating precisely the strength of ceramics at elevated temperatures, being equipped with the laser beam-type displacement measuring system. Four-point bending tests were performed on the silicon-nitride ceramics at elevated temperatures from 800°C to 1300°C. The linear relationship held between the load, P and the displacement, 6 at test temperatures below 1200°C. The P vs. δ plot, however, deviated from the linear relationship at temperatures above 1200°C, suggesting the occurrence of plastic deformation. The flexural strength remained unchanged in the test temperature range from room temperature to about 900°C, and then this decreased gradually with further increase in the test temperature. The fracture toughness measured by using the Chevron notch-type specimen was nearly constant in the temperature range from room temperature to about 1100°C. The fracture toughness obtained from the Knoop-indented specimen was discussed in comparison with that from the Chevron notch-type specimen.
