6、en increasingly applied in a wide range of engineering fields because the ceramic has stable mechanical properties at high temperature and good resistance to wear, erosion and oxidation.However, the difference of material properties between metal and ceramic induces stress singularities at the inter
7、face edge.Moreover, high thermal residual stress will be induced during the cooling process due to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients.The stress singularity together with the thermal residual stress degrades the strength of ceramic/metal joint and makes the evaluation of the strength
8、 difficult.Many works have been done about the residual stress and the strength evaluation of ceramic/metal joints.For example, Kobayashi et al. 1, 2 have investigated the bending strength and residual stress of Si3N4/S45C joint and the effect of the size of the specimen on the bending strength.Qiu
9、et al. 3 have investigated the influence of residual stress and cyclic load on the strength of Si3N4/S45C joint.However, due to the complexity of the problem, a generalized evaluation method for the ceramic/metal joint has not yet been proposed.The elastic solution of the singular stress field of th

11、int based on the elastic plastic deformation of metal will inevitably appear near the crack tip due to the stress singularity.For most of the ceramic/metal joints, the plastic deformation of metal has a significant influence on the strength of the ceramic/metal joint.Due to the analytical complexity
12、, the evaluation of the fracture path and strength of ceramic/metal joint based on the elasto-plastic theory has not yet been made.In this study, four point bending tests of Si3N4/S45C joint specimens with an interface crack were carried out.Evaluation of the fracture path and fracture toughness was
13、 attempted based on the elasto-plastic analysis.ExperimentalSpecimenPreparationFigure 1 shows the geometry and dimensions of Si3N4/S45C joint specimen.The silver based brazing alloy (wt% is: Ag, 71%, Cu, 27%, Ti, 2%) with 60 m thickness was used for the bonding between Si3N4ceramics and S45C steel.B
14、razing was carried in a vacuum furnace Torr).The temperature of the furnace was increased at a rate of 20oC/min up to the brazing temperature of 850oC and kept for 10 min, then decreased at a rate of 10oC/min.The joining surfaces were polished with diamond powder of m diameter.During the brazing, a
15、contact pressure of MPa was applied.After brazing, an interface crack was introduced by the electric discharge method with the cutting wire of 0.1 mm diameter.Four specimens with different crack lengths were prepared.Two of the specimens had crack lengths of 4.0 mm and the other two specimens had cr
16、ack lengths of 1.0 mm and 2.0 mm.Figure 1.Fracture toughness specimen.Experimental ResultsFour point bending tests were carried out on the fracture toughness specimens at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min.Table 1 shows the results of the fracture toughness.The apparent fracture toughness is defined as

18、a crack length of 4.0 mm indicate a higher fracture load than those with shorter crack lengths of and 2.0 mm.As the residual stress will redistribute after cutting 2, the relaxation of thermal residual stress for longer crack length may be a possible reason.Figure 2 shows the macroscopic observation
19、 of the fractured specimen.For the specimens with a crack length of and 2.0 mm, crack propagated into Si3N4directly from the initial crack tip in the direction of about 40o.For the specimens with a crack length of 4.0 mm, the crack propagated along the interface for about 1.0 mm and then kinked into
