Abstract

The long-term durability of high-performance ceramics-coated glass should be appropriately evaluated prior to their practical applications. Fatigue properties of such materials should be clarified to ensure the long-term durability. In this work, a borosilicate glass was coated with alumina or silicon carbide thin films by sputtering method. Fatigue tests of coated glass were conducted under three-point bending. It was clarified that the fatigue life was elongated by coating ceramic thin films on glass and the fatigue life distribution in glass coated with thicker films shifted toward longer life region. Proof testing was carried out for coated glass specimens to remove specimens having lower fatigue lives. It was suggested that proof testing for fatigue of ceramics-coated glass was effective as a screening procedure which can remove weaker specimens by static pre-loading before fatigue tests. In correlating average fatigue lives, fatigue resistance strength was introduced as the average bending strength divided by the applied maximum stress. It was revealed that the average fatigue lives of every coated glass, including average lives after proof testing, were well correlated by a power function of the fatigue resistance strength and its modified parameter, irrespective of film material and thickness and also applied stress level.
