Abstract

The room-temperature mechanical and micromechanical behavior of bulk polycrystalline boron was characterized in this study. Material for the test program was produced with a casting technique. It was found that in all cases fracture was initiated at cracks or steps on the sample surfaces. A study of the fracture mode shows that structural features can influence the fracture path. This provides a basis for future improvements of the mechanical properties. The micromechanical behavior of bulk polycrystalline boron shows a completely elastic response to stress at all levels up to fracture.
