- Cyclic fatigue-crack behavior is studied in a Mg-PSZ ceramic heat treated by sub-eutectoid aging to K1c toughnesses in the range 2.9 MPa?m(overaged) to 16 MPa?m (TS grade). S/N data, derived from unnotched cantilever-beam specimens, show markedly lower lives under tension-compression compared to tension-tension loading; ¿̐ưfatigue limits¿̐ư (108 cycles) for tension-compression loading approach 50% of the tensile strength of the material. When ¿̐ưlong¿̐ư (>3 mm) fatigue crack propagation is examined, crack growth rates are found to be power-law dependent on the stress intensity range, ?K, and to show evidence of a threshold stress intensity range, ?KTH, approximately equal to 50% K1c. Conversely, for naturally occurring ¿̐ưsmall¿̐ư (<100 ?m) surface cracks, fatigue crack growth is seen to occur at applied ?K levels some two to three times smaller than the long crack threshold, ?KTH. The implications of such small crack growth behavior on safety-critical-design criteria for ceramic components is discussed.
