In this study the subcritical crack growth (SCG) behaviors of five dental bioceramics were evaluated in order to plot the crack growth velocity versus stress intensity factor (v-K) curves. Disc-shaped samples of two sintered porcelains, two glass-ceramics, and a glass-infiltrated ceramic composite were prepared and tested in artificial saliva using a biaxial flexure jig. The SCG parameters were evaluated by the dynamic fatigue test using five constant stress-rates and in an inert condition. Among the tested materials, the lithium disilicate glass-ceramic showed the highest susceptibility to strength degradation by SCG, whereas the glass infiltrated alumina composite showed the lowest susceptibility. The v-K curves showed that the SCG susceptibility significantly affects the crack growth velocity of the different bioceramics.

Silicon nitride is one of the ceramic materials being considered for the components in gas turbine engines which will be exposed to temperatures of 1000 to 1400°C. Test specimens from hot-pressed billets exhibit flexural strengths of approximately 50 MN/m2 at 1000°C. However, the strength degrades rapidly to less than 20 MN/m2 at 1400°C. The strength degradition is attributed to subcritical crack growth phenomena evidenced by a stress rate dependence of the flexural strength and the stress intensity factor. This phenomena is termed slow crack growth and is associated with the onset of plastic deformation at the crack tip. Lange attributed the subcritical crack growth tb a glassy silicate grain boundary phase which decreased in viscosity with increased temperature and permitted a form of grain boundary sliding to occur.
