Mechanical Properties of CaO–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–SiO<sub>2</sub> Glass-Ceramics Precipitating Hexagonal CaAl<sub>2</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>8</sub> Crystals

Fracture behavior via a flexural test for a newly found CaO–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–SiO<sub>2</sub> (CAS) glass-ceramic (GC) was compared with that of enstatite GC and mica GC, which are well-known GCs with high-fracture toughness and machinability, respective...

description Fracture behavior via a flexural test for a newly found CaO–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–SiO<sub>2</sub> (CAS) glass-ceramic (GC) was compared with that of enstatite GC and mica GC, which are well-known GCs with high-fracture toughness and machinability, respectively. By focusing on the nonelastic load–displacement curves, CAS GC was characterized as a less brittle material similar to machinable mica GC, compared with enstatite GC, which showed higher fracture toughness, <i>K<sub>IC</sub></i>. The microcrack toughening mechanism in CAS GC was supported by the nondestructive observation of microcracks around the Vickers indentation using the X-ray microcomputed tomography technique. The CAS GC also showed higher transparency than mica GC due to its low crystallinity. Moreover, the precursor glass had easy formability due to its low-liquidus temperature.
