Thickness effect in thermal shock of alumina ceramics

The thermal shock behavior of alumina is investigated, giving attention to the effect of thickness on the driving force for cracking. Two phenomena are found to cause the increased temperature required to initiate cracking in thin ceramics specimens: a variation of Delta-T exp C as a function of spe...

Zusammenfassung:The thermal shock behavior of alumina is investigated, giving attention to the effect of thickness on the driving force for cracking. Two phenomena are found to cause the increased temperature required to initiate cracking in thin ceramics specimens: a variation of Delta-T exp C as a function of specimen thickness, and an inability to build high thermal differences in thin specimens.
