Abstract
Damage under thermal fatigue conditions at high temperatures may be very complex since subcritical crack growth, the effects of oxidation, crack healing and crack tip blunting will exert an influence. Fracture mechanical analysis is generally possible at moderate temperatures if subcritical crack growth is the dominant effect. Most ceramic materials are sensitive to thermal shock and thermal fatigue. Due to inhomogeneous temperature distributions in rapidly cooled or heated ceramic components, thermal stresses are generated which are responsible for the extension of existing cracks. If there is only one single severe thermal cycle, it is called “thermal shock.” But also a large number of cycles implying moderate stresses may cause an incremental increase in damage. This effect is important to materials exhibiting subcritical crack growth and is called “thermal fatigue.”
