Flexural
Strength
Flexural Strength in ceramic materials
is usually measured by breaking test bars or rods in 3
or 4 point bending on a universal testing machine.
The picture to the left shows a bar of Technox® 2000
(300 x 12 x 4mm) being tested and which is deflecting
4.5mm at its centre. Yet another example of the ultra
high strength of Technox® ceramics. |
