DIN EN 843-1:2008 Advanced technical ceramics - Mechanical properties of monolithic ceramics at room temperature - Part 1: Determination of flexural strength; English version of DIN EN 843-1:2008-08
This part of EN 843 specifies methods for determining the nominal flexural strength of advanced
monolithic
technical ceramic materials at ambient temperature. The available loading geometries are three- and
four-point
flexure, using rectangular section test pieces of two prescribed geometries: 20 mm support span (A)
and 40 mm
support span (B).
NOTE This part of EN 843 differs from ISO 14704 (see Bibliography) in respect of span A (not
included in the ISO
version), the absence of the 30 mm span option, and the required use of a fully articulating test
jig.
The test applies to materials with grain size less than 200 pm.
The test prescribes four categories of surface finish applied to the test pieces:
Ⅰ: as-fired or annealed after machining;
Ⅱ: standard finishing by grinding;
Ⅲ: standard finishing by lapping/polishing;
Ⅳ: machined using agreed grinding procedures and material removal rates.
