A hot-pressed silicon nitride ceramic material with rare-earth oxides additive has been processed, its bend strength maintains 800–900 MPa up to 1300°C and measures 680 MPa at 1400°C, its fracture toughness at room temperature is 4.38–4.96 MPam. X-ray, SEM, EDS and electron probe analyses reveal that the microstructure of this material is composed of fine β-Si3N4 grains, α-Si3N4 whiskers, small tetragonal lanthanide crystals and La-containing glassy phase. Observation on fracture surface shows that the fracture path is mainly transcrystalline up to 1400°C. The effects of additives on strength and fracture toughness of HPSN obtained are also discussed.

Fracture toughness of hot-pressed silicon nitride and Si3N4+SiC nanocomposites prepared with different rare-earth oxides (La2O3, Sm2O3, Y2O3, Yb2O3, Lu2O3) sintering additives have been investigated by Chevron Notched Beam, Indentation Strength and Indentation Fracture techniques. The fracture toughness values of composites were lower due to the finer microstructures and the lack of toughening mechanisms. In the Si3N4 with higher aspect ratio (Lu or Yb additives) crack deflection occurred more frequently compared to the Si3N4 doped with La or Y, which was responsible for the higher fracture toughness.

ABSTRACTIn this study we examine the immediate interface between matrix grains and the amorphous intergranular film in a Si3N4 ceramic doped with rare-earth oxides La2O3, Sm2O3, Er2O3, Yb2O3 and Lu2O3, extracting unique structural and atomic bonding information. In particular, we relate the structure of the interface to the ionic size and electronic structure of the rare-earth elements and the presence of oxygen in the intergranular film. We relate these results to the measured fracture toughness.

The residual stress left on the fracture surface is one of the important parameters in X-ray fractography. It has been used to analyze fracture mechanisms in fracture toughness and fatigue tests especially of iron and steels.In the present paper, X-ray fractography was applied to the brittle fracture surface of a silicon nitride ceramics. The first part deals with the determination of the stress constant for diffraction from Si3N4(411) plane by Cr-Kα radiation. The second part describes the effect of the notch-tip radius on the fracture toughness value. In the last part, the plastic zone depth was determined from the residual stress destribution beneath the fracture surface.

Abstract RMI 6A1-4V ELI is an alpha-beta type of titanium-base alloy that can be strengthened by age hardening. In the mill-annealed condition it has a guaranteed minimum room-temperature yield strength of 120,000 psi and can be increased to as much as 160,000 psi by solution treating and aging. This alloy may be used for high-pressure cryogenic vessels down to 320 F. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ti-89. Producer or source: RMI Company.
