Abstract
Ultra sharp V-notches with different depth to width ratio (a/w) were prefabricated on test bars by diamond wheel and femtosecond laser to measure the fracture toughness of 1.5Y/3Ca/6.5Al/1.5Si-PSZ, 2.5Y-TZP, 3Y-TZP and 8Y-FSZ ceramics by single-edge V-notched beam (SEVNB) method. For comparison, the fracture toughness of Al2O3 ceramics was also determined. Based on the analyses of SEM and XRD, the different microstructures and phase transformability led the plateau fracture toughness values of the investigated samples to vary from 1.6 to 9.4 MPa m1/2. The relationship between the a/w value and the plateau fracture toughness has been established.
