Abstract
Hertzian indentation testing with hard spheres is used to evaluate the effect of preform microstructure on the mechanical properties of glass-infiltrated alumina and spinel InCeram ceramics. Performs with different grain morphologies and porosities are investigated. Indentation stress-strain curves measured on the fully infiltrated materials reveal a marked insensitivity in load bearing capacity to the starting preform state. The glass phase is shown to play a vital role in providing mechanical rigidity and strength to the ceramic structures. All the infiltrated ceramics show subsurface cone fracture and quasi-plastic deformation above critical loads PC (cracking) and PY (yield), depending on sphere radius, with PYCitation
