Abstract
High-temperature slow-crack growth of c-axis single crystal 10 wt% Cr2O3 - Al2O3 (nominal composition) fibers has been studied by tensile rupture experiments at 1400°C, under different stressing rates (0.37 to 41.5 MPa.s-1). Slow-crack growth appears to be less pronounced with increasing Cr2O3. Rupture stresses increased with the stressing rate from 397 MPa to 515 MPa, resulting in a SCG exponent, N=19. The Cr2O3 composition was analyzed by Energy Dispersed X-Ray Spectra (EDS) and fracture surfaces were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results are compared with previous studies on 100-300 ppm Cr3+ doped sapphire fibers and on commercial sapphire fibers.
