What is this ISO 17167 - Mechanical properties of monolithic ceramics at room temperature about?
ISO 17167 helps you by proving the test method for determining the flexural strength of monolithic ceramics at room temperature. ISO 17167 specifies a method for the determination of the nominal equibiaxial flexural strength by the ring-on-ring test of advanced monolithic technical ceramic materials at room temperature.
This ring-on-ring test is intended to be used for material development and characterization, quality control and design data acquisition purposes. The strength level determined by the test is calculated based on linear elastic bending behaviour of a round, disk-like thin plate on the assumption that the material being tested is elastically homogeneous and isotropic and shows a linear (Hooke) stress-strain behaviour.
Note: ISO 17167 is applicable to materials with a grain size less than 100 μm.
Who is ISO 17167 - Mechanical properties of monolithic ceramics at room temperature for?
ISO 17167 on fine ceramics is useful for:
- Fine ceramics and ceramic products manufacturers
- Testing laboratories
- Quality control personnel
- Chemical engineers
- Dental product manufacturers
- Biomedical sectors
Why should you use ISO 17167 - Mechanical properties of monolithic ceramics at room temperature?
Monolithic ceramics are used to enhance lifespan and reliability of the material and withstand high temperature. As ceramic products go through a lot of pressure, temperature, chemical attack and compression it becomes important to determine their flexural strength.
ISO 17167 provides with you test setup for the determination of flexural strength by the ring-on-ring test. This test setup has been used to characterize the stress of advanced technical alumina ceramics for orthopaedic implants. The results of these tests will equip you with making improved decision regarding the right chemical composition required in fine ceramics as the specific engineering and industrial needs.
The accuracy of the ISO 17167 test results will help you in improving the quality of the fine ceramics.
