摘要
A high-strength Si3N4 with elongated-beta-Si3N4 and equiaxed alpha'-sialon was tested in cyclic and static fatigue at 1400-degrees-C. At low stress intensity factors and high frequencies, the pullout process of the elongated grains was enhanced, which suppressed the crack growth. This provides a possible explanation for the increased lifetime under cyclic loading conditions reported for ceramics by several investigators. While crack-healing by high-temperature annealing was found to greatly reduce the subsequent static fatigue crack growth rate, it had only a modest effect on cyclic fatigue and none at high frequencies.
