Compressive Strength Of Porous Ceramics

Bodies with porosities ranging from approximately 3 to 60 by volume were prepared utilizing hydrogen peroxide to induce pore formation.

Compressive strength of porous ceramics.

The compressive test of these porous ceramics showed that large strains of 0 2 0 3 are requisite for their fracture. The calcium phosphate porous ceramics in this work show much higher flexibility than conventional ceramics. 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. 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.

The influence of controlled porosity on the compression strength of sintered pure alumina and of partly magnesia stabilized zirconia was investigated. 4 similarly low values were reported for other ceramic materials such as al 2 o 3 0 3 mpa porosity 87 5. The mechanical strength was primarily influenced by the crystallinity of glass ceramics and the interfaces between the crystalline phases and the glassy matrix. For full table with tesnsile strength compressive strength flexural strength and modulus of elasticity rotate the screen.

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. Ceramics tend to be weak in tension but strong in compression. 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.

This is consistent with the preceeding discussion on fig. Material specific gravity sg coefficient of linear expansion α m m k maximum safe operating temperature o c. In the present work porous ceramics having a large porosity of 70 were obtained. With increased porosity volume.

As such weak ceramics need to be handled with great care increasing their strength is of interest.

The compressive strength of the porous hap ceramics decreases linearly with increasing macropore size for a given total porosity. Alumina for example has a tensile strength of 20 000 psi 1138 mpa while the compressive strength is 350 000 psi 2400 mpa.
