High Temperature Fatigue Properties of Silicon Nitride in Nitrogen Atmosphere
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Cyclic and static fatigue properties of pressure-less sintered silicon nitride were evaluated at 1000° C in air and in nitrogen using four-point bending mode. The data of cyclic fatigue tests or static fatigue tests and the morphology of the fractured surfaces in nitrogen were compared with those in air. The cyclic fatigue behavior was remarkably influenced by the atmosphere, while the static fatigue was less influenced. Crack healing effect due to the oxidation around the crack are thought to be the most probable mechanism to affect the cyclic fatigue rate in air.
