The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of the sintering type in the flexural strength and hardness of ceramic blocks for CAD-CAM.  Four type of ceramic blocks were selected and distributed according to the  type of sintering to be performed: Group G1 - In-Ceram® Alumina / liquid state; Group G2 - In-Ceram® AL / solid state; Group G3 - In-Ceram® Zircon / liquid state; Group G4 - In-Ceram® YZ / solid state. All blocks were cut in bar shape with dimensions of 25 x 5 x 2 mm.  and submitted to the three-point bending test and to the Vickers hardness test method.  The results, after statistical analysis, showed  that the average flexural strength of group G1 (351.7 MPa) and group G3 (356.3 MPa) were significantly lower than those of group G2 (421.9 MPa) and group G4 (758.4 MPa); as well as all hardness averages were significantly different, being higher for group G2 (1.936,6 HV) and group G4 (1.321,4 HV), when compared to group G1 (1.173,3 HV) and group G3 (1.094,6 HV).  It was concluded that the solid state sintering proved to be more efficient to obtain maximum densification of the ceramics blocks, resulting in high values of flexural strength and hardness.

SiC coating for carbon/carbon composites was prepared by pack cementation method. The effects of coating process on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of C / C composites were analyzed by SEM and three-point bending test, respectively. As the infiltrated Si improved the interfaces bonding during the coating process, the flexural strength and flexural modulus of SiC -coated carbon/carbon composites were both increased by about 10% than the naked C / C composites. In addition, the mechanism of the change of failure mode of SiC coated C / C composites and naked C / C composites was addressed.

SUMMARY The aim of this study was to assess the flexural strength, flexural elastic modulus and Vickers microhardness of three resin composites prepared at room temperature or cured after one or repeated preheating cycles to a temperature of 39°C. Three resin composites were evaluated: Enamel Plus HFO (Micerium), Opallis (FGM), and Ceram X Duo (Dentsply DeTrey). For each trial, one group of specimens of each material was fabricated under ambient laboratory conditions, whereas in the other groups, the composites were cured after 1, 10, 20, 30, or 40 preheating cycles to a temperature of 39°C in a preheating device. Ten rectangular prismatic specimens (25 × 2 × 2 mm) were prepared for each group (N=180; n=10) and subjected to a three-point bending test for flexural strength and flexural modulus evaluation. Vickers microhardness was assessed on 10 cylindrical specimens from each group (N=180; n=10). Statistical analysis showed that, regardless of the material, the number of heating cycles was not a significant factor and was unable to influence the three mechanical properties tested. However, a significant main effect of the employed material on the marginal means of the three dependent variables was detected.

In the present work the flexural properties of selected composite plates are examined. The three point bending test happens to be widely acceptable method for the evaluation of flexural properties of the composite plates because of its simple geometry and structure. In this paper the influence of filler material and thickness of laminates under three point bending load on simply supported pins are reported for selected filler material combination. Filler materials used here are Glass fiber epoxy with silicon carbide, Graphite fiber epoxy with silicon carbide and Carbon fiber epoxy with silicon carbide. Investigation is carried out as per ASTM D790 standard. The mechanical properties such as flexural strength, flexural stiffness of the composite plates were investigated and reported. This work broadly points out that the flexural strength is dependent on the thickness of the laminates and amount of the filler material of the laminated composites. It was found that Carbon fiber composite shows the superior flexural strength with 6 wt% of SiC among the specimens under study.
