The room temperature mechanical properties of a mixed conducting perovskite Sm1?xSrxCo0.2Fe0.8O3 (x = 0.2 to 0.8) were examined. Density, crystal phase, and microstructure were characterized. It was found that the grain size increased abruptly with increasing Sr content. Mechanical properties of elastic modulus, microhardness, indentation fracture toughness, and biaxial flexure strength were measured. Young's modulus of 180–193 GPa and shear modulus of 70–75 GPa were determined. The biaxial flexure strength was found to decrease with increasing Sr content from ∼70 to ∼20 MPa. The drop in strength was due to the occurrence of extensive cracking. Indentation toughness showed a similar trend to the strength in that it decreased with increasing Sr content from ∼1.1 to ∼0.7 MPa m1/2. In addition, fractography was used to characterize the fracture behavior in these materials.

In the paper, the indentation fracture toughness of the HVOF sprayed WC-12%Co coatings is determined by the Vickers indentation test in dependence on used load. The relations, proposed by Chicot, were used to calculate the value of KIc at condition of the Palmqvist, Intermediate and Radial-median cracking mode. The applicability of using different equations is discussed with respect to the size indentation effect of IFT.
