ABSTRACT

ASTM Subcommittee C28.01 develops standards for mechanical properties and reliability (short term and long term) of monolithic advanced ceramics in a number of areas including flexural strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, cyclic fatigue, creep and creep rupture, hardness, and fracture toughness. Some noteworthy standards developed since the subcommittee’s estalishment in 1986 include those for flexural strength at room temperature and elevated temperature (C1161 and C1211, respectively) that have resulted in standardized sizes and machining practices for bend bars. Another noteworthy standard involves three different methods for fracture toughness testing (C1421) that gives such consistent results one can discern differences between plates of as-processed silicon nitride. In addition, many standards under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee C28.01 have been key in the harmonization of national and regional standards as part of international standards development in ISO TC206 on Fine Ceramics. Currently, there are 23 standards under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee C28.01 that undergo periodic review for currency, applicability and technical merit.

KEYWORDS – monolithic ceramics, standards, characterization, properties, performance

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

At the founding of Committee C28 on Advanced Ceramics within American Society for Testing and Materials (now ASTM International) in 1986, Subcommittee C28.01 on Properties and Performance was organizationally one of the original four technical subcommittees [1-7]. It is interesting to note that Committee C28 on Advanced Ceramics was formed as a new stand-alone committee separate from a subcommittee within Committee C08 on Refractories because the application and composition of advanced ceramics were significantly unique and different from traditional refractories to warrant a committee developing specialized standards tailored to the materials and applications.

Advanced ceramics is the defined and accepted term in the United States for what are known as engineering ceramics, structural ceramics, fine ceramics (Japan), and technical ceramics (Europe). ASTM has defined [8] an advanced ceramic as: a highly engineered, high performance, predominately non-metallic, inorganic, ceramic material having specific functional attributes. Historically, the evolution of technology pushed material performance requirements beyond those of “normal” engineering materials. The increasing engineering demands for advanced technology has been dependent on the development of materials (e.g., advanced ceramics and modern composites) as the enabling technology and with it, standards and design codes for these materials as the enabling supporting technologies.

The scope of Committee C28 is as follows [9, 10]: the promotion of knowledge, stimulation of research and development of standards (classifications, specifications, nomenclature, test methods, guides, and practices) relating to processing, properties, characterization, and performance of advanced ceramic materials. Committee C28 works in concert with other technical committees (e.g., D30 “Composite Materials,” E07 “Non Destructive Testing,” E08 “Fatigue and Fracture,” E28 “Mechanical Testing,” F04 “Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices”, and G02 “Wear and Erosion”) and other national and international organizations having mutual or related interests.

The scope of Subcommittee C28.01 is a specific subset of that of Committee C28 and is as follows [9, 10]: develops standards for mechanical properties and reliability (short term and long term) of monolithic advanced ceramics in a number of areas including flexural strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, cyclic fatigue, creep and creep rupture, hardness, and fracture toughness.
