It is clear that such a test can at most deliver qualitative results. The four-point flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending E f. In this test ceramometallic strips are bent over a rod to a 90° angle of the specimen ends, subsequently flattened, and the fracture surface visually inspected for adherence of the ceramic to the alloy substrate along the predominant part of the middle third of the specimen. The presented method is proposed as an alternative to another flexure bond test nominated for international standard. These experimental results demonstrate the reproducibility of the test method as well as its sensitivity to diverse parameters. Bond strength values of a variety of metal-ceramic combinations are demonstrated.
#Flexture point crack
The aim of this numerical analysis is: to investigate the stress distribution in a ceramometallic specimen with dimensions that, in a large number of experiments, have proven to lead to debonding at one end of the ceramic veneer instead of a crack in the middle of the veneer and to assign a bond strength to the measured critical bending force that takes into account the influence of the Young's modulus of the alloy as well as a possible deviation of the thickness of the metal substrate from the standard value. 1 The transverse bending test is most frequently employed, in which a specimen having either a circular or rectangular cross-section is bent. The calculation of the stress distribution in such specimens with the aid of the finite-element method (FEM) is presented. Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.
This study deals with a three-point flexure test for the metal-ceramic bond involving geometrically simple specimens (alloy strips partly coated with ceramic) that can be fabricated with reasonable expenditure and sufficient reproducibility.
