Abstract
The effect of crystallographic structure and texture on the fracture behavior of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics was investigated. PZT ceramics with Zr/Ti ratio of 45/55 (tetragonal, T), 52/48 (morphotropic phase boundary, MPB), and 60/40 (rhombohedral, R) were fabricated, and then textured using electric field and/or mechanical stress. Vickers indentation method was employed to characterize their fracture behavior. Results show that the unpoled specimen exhibits fracture toughness isotropy, with values of 1.24 MPa·m1/2, 1.07 MPa·m1/2, 1.17 MPa·m1/2 for T, MPB, and R, respectively. The textured specimen reveals fracture toughness anisotropy (FTA). The largest FTA was observed for the mechanically (M) poled specimens. Additionally, FTA for the MPB composition was larger than the T and R specimens. The crystallographic structure and texture dependent domain switching behavior, and the parameters of coercive stress and Young’s modulus measured by mechanical compression are used to explain the observed phenomena.
期刊介绍:
While ceramics have traditionally been admired for their mechanical, chemical and thermal stability, their unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties have become of increasing importance in many key technologies including communications, energy conversion and storage, electronics and automation. Electroceramics benefit greatly from their versatility in properties including:
-insulating to metallic and fast ion conductivity
-piezo-, ferro-, and pyro-electricity
-electro- and nonlinear optical properties
-feromagnetism.
When combined with thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, these properties often render them the materials of choice.
The Journal of Electroceramics is dedicated to providing a forum of discussion cutting across issues in electrical, optical, and magnetic ceramics. Driven by the need for miniaturization, cost, and enhanced functionality, the field of electroceramics is growing rapidly in many new directions. The Journal encourages discussions of resultant trends concerning silicon-electroceramic integration, nanotechnology, ceramic-polymer composites, grain boundary and defect engineering, etc.
