Study on Kaiser Effect of Edge Chipping for Engineering Ceramics during their Failure Process

Abstract:

An edge chipping experiment under static load is adopted to study the Kaiser Effect during the failure process for engineering ceramics. The mechanisms inducing Kaiser Effect are discussed. Some AE signals during the course of Kaiser Effect are analyzed. The results show that there’s obvious Kaiser Effect during the failure process of edge chipping; count, energy and amplitude can be well used to describe the Kaiser Effect. The surface metamorphic layer remained on the ceramic surface during the course of machining is the main factor for Kaiser Effect. Edge distance and mechanics characteristic are the important factors for Kaiser Effect. The study on Kaiser Effect of edge chipping has provided some guidance to prevent edge chipping of engineering ceramics.
