The effect of a rising R-curve behavior on the high-temperature lifetime and flaw-tolerance of Si₃N₄ ceramics has been systematically investigated. Extensive mechanical testing was pursued at 1400°C, typical temperature at which the selected materials fractured under the elastic slow-crack-growth (SCG) regime (i.e., with negligible plastic strain). Hot-isostatically pressed (HIP) Si₃N₄, its WC-platelet, SiC-platelet and SiC particulate composites were selected for this basic investigation. All the composites investigated contained the same volume fraction (i.e., 25%) of reinforcing phase and were fully dense after the HIP process without external addition of densification agents. This latter important processing circumstance has made available materials which, besides having the same grain-boundary structure and, hence, the same intrinsic thermo-mechanical response of the grain boundaries at high temperature, showed different R-curve behaviors. It was systematically found that the rising R-curve, especially pronounced in composites reinforced with high-aspect-ratio platelets, provided a positive effect on lifetime and flaw-tolerance. From the theoretical side, both the lifetime elongation and the improved flaw-tolerance were well explained by an algorithm incorporating into the mechanical driving force acting on the crack tip, the closure-field contribution due to the rising R-curve behavior of the material.
