Abstract

Strength and fracture toughness of glass-nickel compacts have been measured in a four-point bend test. Knoop microhardness indentation technique was used to introduce controlled surface flaws in hot-pressed sodium borosilicate glass containing up to 10 vol% spherical nickel powders for the bend test and also to assess the strength of the compacts. It was found that as the number of voids increased, the load to induce indentation flaws, the subsequent fracture strength and toughness all increased.
