Abstract

The fatigue behaviour of fine grained Al2O3 and ZrO2 toughened Al2O3 (ZTA) compositions with 15 vol% ZrO2 (3 mol% Y2O3 stabilized: 3Y-TZP) have been investigated by using three different techniques, Primarily l-point bending load was employed to generate tension-tension fatigue data under both static and cyclic conditions, The results clear-ly showed that the materials were susceptible to both the static and cyclic fatigue and the time to failure under cyclic loading was considerably shorter than the equivalent static loads. The repeated indentations at the same spot with varying loads showed a typical fatigue behaviour. In addition, both the materials were subjected to the repeated impact cycles at varying subcritical loads simulating impact fatigue, In all the cases typical fatigue curves were obtained having a progressive endurance at subcritical loads having an endurance limit, The fatigue behaviour of Al2O3 was much improved by the addition of 15 vol% 3Y-TZP. having micro-plasticity contributing towards the cyclic fatigue phenomena of these materials.
