Grain Boundary and Surface Influence on Mechanical Behavior of Refractory Oxides — Experimental and Deductive Evidence

  • Conference paper
The Role of Grain Boundaries and Surfaces in Ceramics

Part of the book series: Materials Science Research ((MSR))

  • 119 Accesses

Abstract

A model for grain boundaries of MgO, Al2O3, and BeO is postulated and tested against empirical elastic, plastic flow, and fracture data. Descriptions of the various atomistic processes are given and are found to be consistent with experience. New conclusions are reached concerning the strengthening of ceramics.
