Abstract

The ultra-sharp V-notch with tip radius smaller than 0.5 μm was cut by femtosecond laser on the fine-grained alumina ceramic bars to measure the fracture toughness by single-edge V-notched beam (SEVNB) method. In order to relieve the effect of thermal stresses induced by laser on fracture toughness testing, the samples with V-notch were annealed before measurement. The morphologies of the notch tip were analyzed by SEM and micro-Raman spectra. Results reveal that the fracture toughness value of this fine-grained alumina with thermal stresses on the V-notch is equal to that after annealing, and the effect of thermal stresses induced by laser on the fracture toughness can be ignored.
