The last 30 years have seen a steady development in the range of
ceramic materials with potential for high temperature engineering
applications: in the 60s, self-bonded silicon carbide and
reaction-bonded silicon nitride; in the 70s, improved aluminas,
sintered silicon carbide and silicon nitrides (including sialons);
in the 80s, various toughened Zr0 materials, ceramic matrix
composites reinforced with silicon 2 carbide continuous fibres or
whiskers. Design methodologies were evolved in the 70s,
incorporating the principles of fracture mechanics and the
statistical variation and time dependence of strength. These have
been used successfully to predict the engineering behaviour of
ceramics in the lower range of temperature. In spite of the above,
and the underlying thermodynamic arguments for operations at higher
temperatures, there has been a disappointing uptake of these
materials in industry for high temperature usc. Most of the
successful applications are for low to moderate temperatures such
as seals and bearings, and metal cutting and shaping. The reasons
have been very well documented and include: * Poor predictability
and reliability at high temperature. * High costs relative to
competing materials. * Variable reproducibility of manufacturing
processes. * Lack of sufficiently sensitive non-destructive
techniques. With this as background, a Europhysics Industrial
Workshop sponsored by the European Physical Society (EPS) was
organised by the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation (ECN) and
the Institute for Advanced Materials of the Joint Research Centre
(JRC) of the EC, at Petten, North Holland, in April 1990 to
consider the status of thermomechanical applications of engineering
ceramics.
