EN 843-3:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of subcritical crack growth parameters of advanced monolithic technical ceramics in the temperature range 15 C to 30 C by measuring the dependence of mean fracture strength on

20、the rate of loading. The method is based on strength test procedures described in EN 843-1. This European Standard is not applicable to test pieces with artificially introduced flaws or cracks. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this do

27、ack velocity and stress intensity factor 4 Significance and use Subcritical crack growth can occur in brittle solids at stress levels below that required to cause instantaneous failure. This effect may be caused by the testing environment, or by the intrinsic crack propagation behaviour of the mater

28、ial. The phenomenon leads to a decay of remaining strength in a manner determined by the loading history of the component or test piece. NOTE 1 A review of subcritical crack growth may be found in 1. The determination of subcritical crack growth parameters in accordance with this document allows the

29、 characterisation of the susceptibility of the material to subcritical crack growth, and thus its ability to support continued mechanical loading. Using these parameters it is possible to compare materials for susceptibility to loss of strength under load in particular environments, and to estimate

30、the lifetime of a component used under similar loading and environmental conditions. NOTE 2 The use of these parameters in design and lifetime estimation is not within the scope of this document. The relationship between the stress intensity factor at the tip of a crack or flaw and the velocity of t

31、he subcritically growing crack may be given by: nIcIKKAv=0(1) where v is the velocity of the growing crack in metres per second; A0is a constant in metres per second; KIis the critical stress intensity factor developed at the crack tip by the applied stress in Megapascals metres1/2; KIc= critical st

32、ress intensity factor at the crack tip required to cause instantaneous crack propagatio. NOTE 3 There are other algebraic representations of this relationship which are less convenient mathematically, but may be physically more realistic in practice. See, e.g. 2 and 3. 2 considers that practical dat

33、a cannot reliably distinguish between various relationships. The mathematical analysis in this document therefore does not cover such alternative relationships. In Equation (1), the value of n at room temperature is normally high, typically in the range fifteen to several hundred. At the lower end o

34、f this range, materials are very susceptible to subcritical crack growth, while at the upper end the phenomenon becomes insignificant. It should be recognised that Equation (1) implies a single simple relationship, but in practice there may be non-linearities. There are thought to be two principal c

35、auses of non-linearity: a) At low stress intensity factors there may be no subcritical crack growth. This is termed the subcritical crack growth threshold, or “fatigue limit“. b) At intermediate stress intensity factors, the crack growth rate may be limited by the rate at which the environment can p

36、enetrate along the crack to control fracture at the tip. This results in a EN 843-3:2005 (E) 6 plateau effect, which is maintained to KIlevels at which crack growth can occur in the absence of an environmental effect. It should be noted that n and A0are often functions of the environmental condition

37、s employed. In particular, many ceramics show marked subcritical crack growth in humid air or in water, and much less marked effects in dry or inert conditions. The test environment shall be defined and controlled for reproducible results. In this document, the parameter n and a parameter B0, which

38、is related to A0, are determined from the effect of stressing rate on flexural strength. NOTE 4 The term “dynamic fatigue“ is frequently used to describe such tests, but tends to be misunderstood. Its use is discouraged. Annex A shows how the mathematical formulation of the relationship between the

39、subcritical crack growth parameters based on Equation (1) and the effect of stressing rate on strength is derived, yielding the basic formula: B0is the constant; II Machined (by agreed procedure); III.1 Standard finish by grinding; III.2 Standard finish by lapping and/or polishing. The test piece di

40、mensions shall be as follows. Span A Length: 25 mm Width: 2,5 mm 0,2 mm Thickness: 2,0 mm 0,2 mm Span B Length: 45 mm Width: 4,0 mm 0,2 mm Thickness: 3,0 mm 0,2 mm The maximum tolerable variation in width and thickness of any individual test-piece shall be either: a) test pieces which have been mach

41、ined (II, III.1, III.2), 0,02 mm, or b) as-fired test pieces (I), 0,1 mm along the length of the test piece and 0,05 mm across the width or thickness. Test-pieces shall be chamfered along at least the two long edges bounding the face of the test piece to be subjected to tensile stress in the test. T

42、he chamfer shall be at approximately 45oto a distance of 0,12 mm 0,03 mm as measured along the face or side, or alternatively the edge may be rounded to 0,15 mm 0,05 mm radius. Any test pieces which do not meet the above dimensional requirements shall be rejected. Test-pieces shall be washed after m

43、achining and dried at 120 C 5 C in the oven. If the tests are to be performed in the ambient laboratory atmosphere, allow at least two hours equilibration in the ambient atmosphere before testing. The number of test-pieces shall be at least 50, of which 10 shall be tested at each of five different s

44、tressing rates. 7 Test procedure Measure the thickness and width of each test piece at a minimum of three positions approximately equidistant along its length, using the micrometer (see 5.4.1). EN 843-3:2005 (E) 9 Measure the test jig span(s) to the nearest 0,1 mm and, using the travelling microscop

45、e or other suitable device (see 5.4.2), check that the relative positions of the rollers are in accordance with the requirements of 5.1. Assemble the test-jig in the test machine and arrange the environmental control facility as appropriate to the agreed test programme. Select at least five loading

46、rates covering at least four orders of magnitude (e.g. 10-2N s-1, 10-1N s-1, 1 N s-1, 10 N s-1and 100 N s-1), and test at least 10 test pieces at each rate in the following manner. NOTE 1 If the available test machine does not offer preselected constant loading rates (load control), employ cross-hea

47、d displacement rate control and select five displacement rates covering four orders of magnitude in rate (see 5.3, Note 2). Insert each test piece in turn in the test jig and carefully align it in accordance with the practice given in EN 843-1. If the tests are being conducted in a controlled enviro

48、nment, unless otherwise agreed allow at least 2 h equilibration of the test-piece in the environment before stressing. NOTE 2 For chemically corrosive environments it may be desirable closely to define the equilibration period by agreement. If the tests are to be performed in a humid atmosphere, rec

49、ord the relative humidity. The relative humidity shall not change by more than 10 % during the course of the test series. Record the ambient temperature. The temperature may be between 15 C and 30 C, and shall not vary by more than 3 K during the test series. Choose a range for recording the force applied by the testing machine (when necessary) such that the expected mean fracture force is near the centre of the range. Apply the test force at the chosen rate and record the force/displac
