Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to provide a coherent and up-to-date discussion of the scientific work concerning the transformation toughening of ceramics. We hope the book is useful to scientists, engineers and students who are new to these materials. It is intended both as a source of learning and information to those who are new to these materials. It is intended both as a source of learning behaviour and microstructural relationships in transformation-toughened ceramics. While it has been our aim to present a book that is current as possible at the time of publication, the subject is still expanding in many areas; so our hope is that the reader will also gain an insight into the direction of future advances.

Book excerpt: The mechanical properties of high toughness magnesia partially stabilized zirconia were found to be severely degraded by a single cooling cycle between room temperature and 196 C. In-situ Raman spectroscopy and optical interference measurements, and room temperature x-ray diffraction were used to correlate the changes in mechanical properties with structural changes; cooling to temperatures below approximately -100C caused transformation of most of the tetragonal precipitates that are responsible for toughening to a new phase was stable with heating to 300 C, but at 400 C it transformed back to the tetragonal structure. After heating to 400 C the original high toughness mechanical properties were also restored. A new approach for measuring the nature and distribution of strains within transformation zones surrounding cracks in transformation toughened materials was demonstrated, using Mg-PSZ. The method involves measuring out-of-plane distortions adjacent to a surface-breaking crack and comparing the measurements with computed displacements. The fraction of transformation was found to be strongly varying function of distance from the crack plane.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the lectures of the 5th Advanced Seminar on Fracture Mechanics (ASFM 5) held at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra, on 14-18 October 1985. The series of the ASFMs is one of the two main regularly scheduled international events sponsored by the European Group on Fracture (EGF) , alternating with the European Conferences of Fracture (ECFS). Whereas ECFs are held in a different place on even years (the last. ECF6,was in Amsterdam in June 1986), ASFMs are hosted at the JRC Ispra on odd years. This establishment belonging to the Commission of the European Communities performs research work of common interest to the EC Member countries. One of the activities of the JRC-Ispra is the organization of Ispra-Courses aiming at the transfer of knowledge and the strengthening of exchanges and ties between European scientific workers. ASFMs are designed to give an advanced level treatment in selected areas of fracture mechanics. Previous ASFMs had been devoted to elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and to subcritical crack growth due to fatigue, stress corrosion and creep. In the early stages of preparation of ASFM5 it was decided to concentrate on a new theme, the fracture phenomena and fracture mechanics of non-metallic materials. Whereas fracture mechanics started with the study of glass by Griffith, its later developments centered predominantly on metallic alloys. However, in recent years non-metallic materials have found increasing uses and correspondingly efforts have been made to develop testing and prediction methods for these materials.

Book excerpt: The origin of transformation toughening in ceramics is examined using two separate approaches: one based on the stress field ahead of the crack and the other on the changes in thermodynamic potential during a crack increment. Both approaches yield essentially similar predictions of trends in toughness with particle size, temperature, composition, etc. The stress intensity analysis provides fully quantitative predictions of the toughness. These indicate that the shielding of the crack by the transformation zone only develops in the presence of a transformed wake, leading to R-curve behavior.
Download or read book Martensitic Transformation written by Zenji Nishiyama and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martensitic Transformation examines martensitic transformation based on the known crystallographical data. Topics covered range from the crystallography of martensite to the transformation temperature and rate of martensite formation. The conditions for martensite formation and stabilization of austenite are also discussed, along with the crystallographic theory of martensitic transformations. Comprised of six chapters, this book begins with an introduction to martensite and martensitic transformation, with emphasis on the basic properties of martensite in steels such as carbon steels. The next two chapters deal with the crystallography of martensite and discuss the martensitic transformation behavior of the second-order transition; lattice imperfections in martensite; and close-packed layer structures of martensites produced from ? phase in noble-metal-base alloys. Thermodynamical problems and kinetics are also analysed, together with conditions for the nucleation of martensite and problems concerning stabilization of austenite. The last chapter discusses the theory of the mechanism underlying martensitic transformation. This monograph will be of interest to metallurgists and materials scientists.

Lange and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three A1203/ZrO2 composites series, containing 0, 2, and 7.5 mole % Y203, respectively, were fabricated. For the A1203/ZrO2(+2M/oY203) series, tetragonal ZrO2 was retained from one end-member to the other. Significant increases in fracture toughness and strength were observed for materials in this system. Strengths decreased with increasing temperature. These results are consistent with previous theoretical predictions. (Author).

Book excerpt: Research is underway into the application of martensitic transformations in ceramics to toughen a variety of ceramic-ceramic composites, i.e., to reduce their brittleness. The toughening agents of interest and their volume changes are dicalcium silicate (Ca2SiO4, 12%), nickel sulfide (NiS, 4%), lanthanide sesquioxides (Ln2O3, 8%) and lutentium borate (LuBO3, 8%). Ceramic processing routes have been developed to fabricate different types of toughened composites, viz., either by using a dispersed second phase microstructure or as a fine grained, single phase material. Specifically, Ca2SiO4 has been dispersed in CaZrO3 and the mechanical properties measured by bend tests. The critical importance of matrix toughness and grain size, as well as role of intergranular microcracking has been established. Dense pellets of fine grained, pure beta- Ca2SiO4 have been sintered and their transformability by grinding established. Their microstructures were examined by TEM and preliminary micromechanical studies made on it, and on Gd2O3, by indentation and SEM techniques. NiS inclusions in glass were examined by TEM and EDS and a sol gel processing route to precipitate NiS in glass has been identified. Composites of Dy2O3 in SiC and powders of LuBO3 in B2O3 have been fabricated.

F. Lange and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thermodynamics of the constrained phase transformation is presented with particular reference to size effects introduced by surface phenomena concurrent with the transformation, e.g., the formation of solid-solid surfaces (twins, etc.) and solid-vapor surfaces (e.g., microcracks). It is shown that these surface phenomena not only introduce a size-dependent energy term into the total free energy change, but also reduce the strain energy associated with the transformation, which can result in a transformation at a temperature where the chemical free energy change is less than the unrelieved strain energy associated with the constrained transformation. The results of this analysis lead to a phase diagram representation that includes the size of the transforming inclusion. This diagram can be used to define the critical inclusion size required to prevent the transformation and/or to obtain the transformation, but avoid one or more of the concurrent surface phenomena.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple constitive law is proposed for the description of a certain ceramic composite which undergoes stress induced martensitic transformation. This law is used in finite element calculations to investigate the shear effect on the transformation zone near a crack tip. A formula describing the stress intensity factor change due to the shear contribution of the transformation given. Significant loss of toughness is observed in the case of a stationary crack and is attributed entirely to the shear component of the transformation. On the contrary, the dilatant part brings about no change. As the crack grows, the wake of the transformed material left behind the crack constitutes a source of toughening. This toughening is due to both dilatancy and shear in the phase change and rises to a maximum level just after a propagation comparable with the zone height. Finally, it is shown that the shear component can be important when prediction of the fracture toughness of the transformation toughened ceramics are made.
