Abstract:

In this study, the fracture toughness of ceramic materials such as Al2O3, SiC, Si3N4, ZrO2 were measured by the SENB method and IF method respectively. The results shown that the value of fracture toughness obtained from the SENB method is significantly higher than the IF method. When the notch width is fixed, with the flexural strength of ceramic materials increasing, the error of fracture toughness from the SENB method compared to the IF method is increased. For example, the flexural strength of ZrO2 is about 847MPa and the error of fracture toughness from the SENB method compared to the IF method is 50.14%, the flexural strength of Al2O3 is about 338MPa and the error of fracture toughness from the SENB method compared to the IF method is only 4.52%.
