X-Ray Stress Determination in Ceramics and Ceramic-Metal Composites

  • Chapter
International Conference on Residual Stresses

Abstract

Ceramics belong to the oldest materials used by mankind. Since about two decades, however, worldwide considerable efforts are made to tailor advanced types of ceramics to fulfill special chemical, thermal, mechanical, and/or electrical requirements. In this context, the residual stress states of ceramics and ceramic-metal-composites become of increasing interest. It has been demonstrated for instance that compressive surface residual stresses can improve the strength of ceramic components under certain loading conditions [1 - 8]. Consequently, reliable procedures are necessary to measure the residual stress states of advanced ceramics. Today, for this purpose, the sin2 Ψ -method of X-ray stress analysis [9] is the most appropriate method. In this article, special features of X-ray stress determinations on ceramics and ceramic-metal-composites are summarized, and selected examples are presented to characterize the actual knowledge in this research field.
