Conclusions
-
1.
The completely rough fracture surface of pyroceram 4 indicates that the surface and the bulk of this material have equal strength. This is confirmed by the equal defectiveness of the surface and of the fracture of pyroceram 4.
-
2.
The fracture surface of pyrocerams 1–3 has several zones differing in roughness and defectiveness; this is associated with the process of propagation of the fracture.
-
3.
The dependence of bending strength on the area of the mirror zone is fairly well described by the expression σ 4¯S = Cstr , and in that case the variation coefficient of CS does not exceed 16–20%.
