Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) - Determination of fracture toughness of monolithic ceramics at room temperature by the surface crack in flexure (SCF) method (ISO 18756:2003)

ISO 18756:2003 describes a test method that covers the determination of fracture toughness of monolithic ceramic materials at room temperature by the surface crack in flexure (SCF) method.
This International Standard is intended for use with monolithic ceramics and whisker- or particulate-reinforced ceramics that are regarded as macroscopically homogeneous. It does not include continuous-fiber reinforced ceramic composites.
The test method is applicable to materials with either flat or rising crack growth resistance curves.

Hochleistungskeramik - Bestimmung der Bruchzähigkeit monolithischer Keramik bei Raumtemperatur für Biegeproben mit Oberflächenriss (Knoop-Riss) (SCF-Verfahren) (ISO 18756:2003)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Bruchzähigkeit monolithischer keramischer Werkstoffe fest, das bei Raumtemperatur an Biegeproben mit Oberflächenriss (Knoop Riss) (SCF Verfahren) durchgeführt wird.
Diese Internationale Norm ist für die Anwendung auf monolithische Keramiken und durch Whisker oder Teilchen verstärkte Keramiken vorgesehen, die makroskopisch als homogen angesehen werden. Keramische Verbundstoffe mit Endlosfaserverstärkung werden nicht erfasst.
Das Prüfverfahren ist auf keramische Werkstoffe mit flachen oder ansteigenden Risswiderstandskurven (R Kurven) anwendbar. Es ist mit dem in ISO 15732 festgelegten Verfahren vergleichbar, allerdings sind die Anrisse kleiner und werden auf andere Weise erzeugt. Beide Verfahren sollten für Werkstoffe mit flacher Risswiderstandskurve ähnliche oder identische Ergebnisse liefern.
ANMERKUNG   Das in dieser Norm festgelegte Prüfverfahren ist im Allgemeinen auf keramische Werkstoffe anwendbar, die eine Bruchzähigkeit von weniger als " 10 MPa×m1/2 haben. In Werkstoffen mit größerer Bruchzähigkeit oder in besonders weichen keramischen Werkstoffen (mit geringer Härte), z. B. einige Zirconiumoxide, oder auch in porösen keramischen Werkstoffen kann es schwierig sein, Anrisse mit einem Knoop Eindringkörper zu erzeugen.

Céramiques techniques - Détermination de la ténacité à la rupture des céramiques monolithiques à température ambiante par fissuration superficielle en flexion (ISO 18756:2003)

L'ISO 18756:2003 décrit une méthode d'essai qui couvre la détermination de la ténacité à la rupture de matériaux céramiques monolithiques, à température ambiante, par la méthode de fissuration superficielle en flexion (SCF).
L'ISO 18756:2003 est destinée à être utilisée avec des céramiques monolithiques et des céramiques à renfort de trichite ou de particules qui sont considérées comme homogènes d'un point de vue macroscopique. Elle ne couvre pas les composites céramiques à renfort de fibres continues.
La méthode d'essai est applicable aux matériaux ayant des courbes plates ou montantes de résistance à la propagation de la fissure.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 18756:2003(E)

Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical
ceramics) — Determination of fracture toughness of monolithic
ceramics at room temperature by the surface crack in flexure
(SCF) method
1 Scope
This International Standard describes a test method that covers the determination of fracture toughness of
monolithic ceramic materials at room temperature by the surface crack in flexure (SCF) method.
This International Standard is intended for use with monolithic ceramics and whisker- or particulate-reinforced
ceramics that are regarded as macroscopically homogeneous. It does not include continuous-fibre reinforced
ceramic composites.
The test method is applicable to materials with either flat or rising crack growth resistance curves. This
method is similar to ISO 15732 except that precracks are smaller and are made by a different procedure. The
methods should produce similar or identical results for materials with a flat R-curve.
1/2
NOTE This test method is usually applicable to ceramic materials with a fracture toughness less than ≈ 10 MPa m . It
may be difficult to form precracks with a Knoop indenter for materials with greater fracture toughness or those materials
which are soft (low hardness) such as some zirconias, or for porous ceramics.
