Abstract

Micro silicon carbide tension specimen were prepared with straight, curved, and notched gage lengths. These were tested to failure and the strengths analyzed by Weibull statistics. Fractographic analysis confirmed that strength limiting flaws were etch grooves associated with large, favorably oriented SiC grains.
