Abstract
Crack velocity curves for Y-TZP and Al2O3-toughened Y-TZP were determined for long cracks in compact tension specimens with an in situ fracture device on the stage of an optical microscope. Indications for a crack velocity threshold were found for both materials. Above this threshold, at 2.6 MPa·m1/2 for Y-TZP and 3.6 MPa·m1/2 for Al2O3-toughened Y-TZP, chemically assisted subcritical crack growth occurs over an extended regime of applied stress intensity factors of width 2.1–2.8 MPa·m1/2. It is recognized that the dependence of the shielding term on the crack-tip stress field renders transformation-toughened materials particularly susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking. This interrelation leads to the definition of a steady-state velocity at constant applied stress intensity factor. This velocity is obtained in the situation where the shielding term is fully defined by the present crack-tip stress field, not depending on prior loading history.
