DIN EN 843-1:2008-08 EN 843-1:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 843 specifies methods for determining the nominal flexural strength of a
22、dvanced monolithic technical ceramic materials at ambient temperature. The available loading geometries are three- and four-point flexure, using rectangular section test pieces of two prescribed geometries: 20 mm support span (A) and 40 mm support span (B). NOTE This part of EN 843 differs from ISO
23、14704 (see Bibliography) in respect of span A (not included in the ISO version), the absence of the 30 mm span option, and the required use of a fully articulating test jig. The test applies to materials with grain size less than 200 m. The test prescribes four categories of surface finish applied t
24、o the test pieces: I: as-fired or annealed after machining; II: standard finishing by grinding; III: standard finishing by lapping/polishing; IV: machined using agreed grinding procedures and material removal rates. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the

29、terms and definitions apply. 3.1 nominal flexural strength maximum nominal stress supported by the material at the instant of failure when loaded in linear elastic bending 3.2 three-point flexure means of bending a beam test piece whereby the test piece is supported on bearings near its ends and a c
30、entral force is applied 3.3 four-point flexure means of bending a beam test piece whereby the test piece is supported on bearings near its ends and is loaded equally at two positions symmetrically disposed about the centre of the supported span 3.4 quarter-point flexure four-point flexure (3.3) wher
31、ein the loading bearings are each one-quarter of the support span from the support bearings 4 Significance and use This test is intended to be used for material development, quality control, characterization and design data acquisition purposes. The strength level determined by the test is calculate
32、d on the basis of linear elastic bending of a thin beam on the assumption that the material being tested is elastically homogeneous and isotropic, and shows linear (Hookean) stress-strain behaviour. The result obtained from a strength test is determined by a large number of factors associated with t
33、he microstructure of the material, the surface finishing procedure applied in preparation of the test pieces, the size and shape of the test piece, the mechanical function of the testing apparatus, the rate of load application and the relative humidity of the ambient atmosphere. As a consequence of
34、the brittle nature of ceramics, there is usually a considerable range of results obtained from a number of nominally identical test pieces. These factors combined mean that caution in the interpretation of test results is required. For many purposes, and as described in this European Standard, the r
35、esults of strength tests may be described in terms of a mean value and a standard deviation. Further statistical evaluation of results is required for design data acquisition, and may be desirable for other purposes (see EN 843-5). This method places closely defined restrictions on the size and shap
36、e of the test piece and on the function of the test apparatus in order to minimize the errors that can arise as a consequence of the test method. NOTE The basis for the choice of dimensions and tolerances of test pieces and of the requirements of the test-jig may be found in reference 4. All other t
37、est factors are required to be stated in the test report (see Clause 9) in order to allow inter-comparison of material behaviours. It is not possible to rigorously standardize particular surface finishes, since these are not absolutely controllable in mechanical terms. The inclusion of a standard gr
38、inding procedure (see 6.3) as one of the surface finish options in this method is intended to provide a means of obtaining a minimum amount of residual grinding damage in the test material. The extrapolation of flexural strength data to other geometries of stressing, to multiaxial stressing, to othe
39、r rates of stressing or to other environments should be viewed with caution. DIN EN 843-1:2008-08 EN 843-1:2006 (E) 6 The origin of fracture in a flexural test can be a valuable guide to the nature and position of strength-limiting defects. Fractography of test pieces is highly recommended. In parti
40、cular, the test may identify fracture origins as being edge defects (caused by edge preparation), surface defects (caused by surface preparation), or internal defects (caused by manufacturing inhomogeneities such as pores, large grains, impurity concentrations etc.). Not all advanced monolithic tech
41、nical ceramics are amenable to clear fractography. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Test jig The test jig shall be capable of either three-point or four-point flexure and functioning as specified below in order to minimize misalignments, twist and frictional forces applied to the test piece. NOTE 1 The precise test
42、jig design is not specified, only the function. Schematic arrangements of the test jig function are shown in Figure 1 a) for three-point flexure, and Figure 1 b) for four-point flexure. The test piece shall be supported on two bearing edges perpendicular to its length. The outer support bearing edge
43、s shall be parallel rollers of diameter approximately 1,5 times the test piece thickness. Diameters of between 2,2 mm and 2,5 mm (for span A - see 6.2) or between 4,5 mm and 5,0 mm (for span B - see 6.2) are recommended. The rollers shall be capable of rolling outward on flat support surfaces. One o
44、f the rollers shall additionally be capable of rotating about an axis parallel to the length of the test piece such that torsional loading is minimized. The two rollers shall be positioned initially with their centres 20 mm 0,5 mm apart (span A) or 40 mm 0,5 mm apart (span B) with their axes paralle
45、l to 0,2 mm over their lengths ( 12 mm). See Figure 2. For three-point flexure, a third roller shall be located at the mid-point between and parallel to the two support rollers (Figures 2 a) and 2 c). This roller shall have the same diameter as the support rollers and shall be similarly free to rota
46、te about an axis parallel to the length of the test piece. Its position relative to the midpoint between the support rollers shall be better than 0,2 mm, measured to the nearest 0,1 mm in a direction parallel to the length of the test piece using the travelling microscope or other suitable device (s
47、ee 5.4). For four-point flexure, two loading rollers shall be located at the quarter points (see 3.4), i.e. with inner spans 10 mm 0,2 mm (outer span A) or 20 mm 0,2 mm (outer span B), and shall be free to roll inwards (Figures 2 b) and 2 d). As with the three-point apparatus, the two rollers shall
48、also be free to rotate separately about an axis parallel to the length of the test piece to allow alignment. The loading rollers shall be symmetrically positioned to within 0,1 mm. The distances between the centres of the support rollers and adjacent loading rollers shall be measured to the nearest
49、0,1 mm along the length of the test piece perpendicular to the direction of loading, using the travelling microscope or other suitable device (see 5.4). The arrangement for loading shall ensure that equal forces are applied to the two loading rollers. The separation of the centres of the rollers in their starting positions shall be measured to the nearest 0,1 mm with the travelling microscope (see 5.3.2) or other suitable device. The rollers shall be made from hardened steel or other hard material wi
