EN 843-1:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 843 specifies methods for determining the nominal flexural strength of advanced monolithic technical ceramic materials at ambient temperature. The available loading geometries ar
19、e 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 14704 (see Bibliography) in respect of span A (not included in the ISO version), the absence of the 30 mm
20、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 to the test pieces: I: as-fired or annealed after machining; II: standard finishing by grinding; III: stand
21、ard 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 application of this document.

26、ailure 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 central force is applied 3.3 four-point flexure means of bending a beam test piece whereby the test piece is supported on bearin
27、gs 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) wherein the loading bearings are each one-quarter of the support span from the support bearings 4 Significance and use This test is
28、 intended to be used for material development, quality control, characterization and design data acquisition purposes. The strength level determined by the test is calculated on the basis of linear elastic bending of a thin beam on the assumption that the material being tested is elastically homogen
29、eous 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 the microstructure of the material, the surface finishing procedure applied in preparation of the test pieces, the size and shap
30、e 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 the brittle nature of ceramics, there is usually a considerable range of results obtained from a number of nominally identical
31、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 results of strength tests may be described in terms of a mean value and a standard deviation. Further statistical evaluation of
32、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 shape of the test piece and on the function of the test apparatus in order to minimize the errors that can arise as a consequence o
33、f 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 test factors are required to be stated in the test report (see Clause 9) in order to allow inter-comparison of material behaviou
34、rs. It is not possible to rigorously standardize particular surface finishes, since these are not absolutely controllable in mechanical terms. The inclusion of a standard grinding procedure (see 6.3) as one of the surface finish options in this method is intended to provide a means of obtaining a mi
35、nimum amount of residual grinding damage in the test material. The extrapolation of flexural strength data to other geometries of stressing, to multiaxial stressing, to other rates of stressing or to other environments should be viewed with caution. EN 843-1:2006 (E) 6 The origin of fracture in a fl
36、exural test can be a valuable guide to the nature and position of strength-limiting defects. Fractography of test pieces is highly recommended. In particular, the test may identify fracture origins as being edge defects (caused by edge preparation), surface defects (caused by surface preparation), o
37、r internal defects (caused by manufacturing inhomogeneities such as pores, large grains, impurity concentrations etc.). Not all advanced monolithic technical 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 flexur
38、e and functioning as specified below in order to minimize misalignments, twist and frictional forces applied to the test piece. NOTE 1 The precise test 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, an
39、d 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 edges 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
40、.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 of the rollers shall additionally be capable of rotating about an axis parallel to the length of the test piece such that torsional loading is minimi
41、zed. 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 parallel 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 paralle
42、l 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 rotate 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,
43、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 (see 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 spa
44、n 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 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 symmetrica
45、lly 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 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
46、.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 sh
47、all be made from hardened steel or other hard material with a hardness greater than 40 HRC (Rockwell C-scale) for strengths less than 1,4 GPa and not less than 46 HRC for strengths greater than 1,4 GPa. The rollers shall have a smooth burr-free surface finish with roughness less than 0,5 m Raand sha
48、ll have diameter uniform to 0,015 mm. NOTE 2 The accurate and repeatable lateral positioning of the rollers can best be achieved by ensuring that in the unloaded position, the support rollers are in lateral contact with stops which allow them to roll outwards on their support planes towards the ends
49、 of the test piece, and the inner loading rollers (four-point flexure) are in contact with stops which allow rolling inwards towards the middle of the test piece. The rotation of the rollers is thus unhindered when the test force is applied.
