BS EN ISO 24370:2023 Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics). Test method for fracture toughness of monolithic ceramics at room temperature by chevron-notched beam (CNB) method
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a test method for determining the fracture toughness of monolithic ceramic materials at room temperature by the chevron-notched beam (CNB)
method.
This International Standard is applicable to monolithic ceramics and whisker- or particulate-reinforced
ceramics that are regarded as macroscopically homogeneous. It is not applicable to
continuous-fibre reinforced ceramic composites.
This International Standard is usually applicable to ceramic materials with a fracture toughness less than about 12 MPa(m 1/2 ). The test method is applicable to materials with a flat crack-growth resistance
curve and may be applicable to materials with a rising crack-growth resistance curve
(R-curve).
