Original abstract

Indentation strength and self-crack-healing ability were systematically studied using beams containing a semi-elliptical surface crack made by Vickers indentor. Beams of Al2O3/SiC ceramic nanocomposite with a good self-crack-healing ability predetermined for four-point and three-point bending test were prepared by ceramographics techniques. Flexural strength and fracture toughness were determined using three- and four-point bend method. Thermal aging at 1573 K for 1h was applied to heal the samples with indentation pre-cracking. Fractographical analyses using an optical and/or scanning electron microscopy has been carried out to investigate the surface crack behaviour. Very good self-crack healing ability has been proved for surface microcracks having length up to 250 um and depth no higher than 100 um.

Czech abstract

Na nanokompozitní keramice typu Al2O3/SiC byla za použití ohybových vzorků s poloeliptickou povrchovou trhlinou připravenou za pomocí indentační techniky měřena pevnost v ohybu a sledována schopnost zacelování povrchových trhlin. Vzorky v podobě trámečků pro zkoušky tříbodovým a čtyřbodovým ohybem byly připraveny keramografickými metodami. Pevnost v ohybu a lomová houževnatost byly měřeny za použití tří a čtyřbodového ohybu. Pro zacelování vzorků s povrchovou trhlinou bylo použito žíhání při 1573 K po dobu 1 h. Pro faktografickou analýzu povrchů vzorků a lomů byly použity techniky světelné a elektronové mikroskopie. Pro sledovaný materiál byla zjištěna velmi dobrá schopnost zacelení povrchových trhlin velikosti do 250 um zasahujících do hloubky nejvýše 100 um.
