Influence of quartz particle size and concentration on the fracture stresses of triaxial alumina porcelain.

Author

John David Weyand

Abstract

"Quartz particles were introduced into a typical triaxial alumina porcelain. Three levels of particle size and three levels of concentration were studied. The strength sample sizes were large. A diametral- compression loading method was used for strength testing. It was found that the porcelain strength decreased with increasing grain size and concentration of quartz particles. A linear relationship existed between log quartz concentration and mean fracture stress"--Abstract, p. ii
