Compressive Strength Of Porous Ceramics

With increased porosity volume.

Compressive strength of porous ceramics.

Depending on the ceramic material the compressive strength can get as low as 0 16 mpa for hydroxyapatite ha ca 10 po 4 6 oh 2 at a porosity of 87. As such weak ceramics need to be handled with great care increasing their strength is of interest. In the present work porous ceramics having a large porosity of 70 were obtained. Material specific gravity sg coefficient of linear expansion α m m k maximum safe operating temperature o c.

Porous ceramics with porosities of 75 vol and α si 3 n 4 matte grains α β phase ratio of 1 5 or α si 3 n 4 whiskers α β phase ratio of 0 36 were prepared by in situ nitridation of silicon powder. The calcium phosphate porous ceramics in this work show much higher flexibility than conventional ceramics. Bodies with porosities ranging from approximately 3 to 60 by volume were prepared utilizing hydrogen peroxide to induce pore formation. For a metal the compressive strength is near that of the tensile strength while for a ceramic the compressive strength may be 10 times the tensile strength.

The mechanical strength was primarily influenced by the crystallinity of glass ceramics and the interfaces between the crystalline phases and the glassy matrix. The compressive test of these porous ceramics showed that large strains of 0 2 0 3 are requisite for their fracture. This is consistent with the preceeding discussion on fig. For full table with tesnsile strength compressive strength flexural strength and modulus of elasticity rotate the screen.

4 similarly low values were reported for other ceramic materials such as al 2 o 3 0 3 mpa porosity 87 5. This work reveals that the compressive behavior of unidirectional porous ceramics can be predicted by the honeycomb out of plane model in a wide porosity range from 45 to 80. The compressive strength of porous glass ceramics firstly increased and then decreased with the sintering temperature reaching a maximal value of 1 8 mpa at 750 c.

Properties of some common ceramics. The influence of controlled porosity on the compression strength of sintered pure alumina and of partly magnesia stabilized zirconia was investigated. 4 and the corresponding expressions. Alumina for example has a tensile strength of 20 000 psi 1138 mpa while the compressive strength is 350 000 psi 2400 mpa.
