Porosity dependence of elastic constants in aluminum nitride ceramics

Abstract: Aluminum nitride is a relatively new engineering ceramic and its mechanical properties have not been extensively studied. In this work, the effects of porosity (~0 to 38%) on sonic velocities, Poisson's ratio, and elastic moduli of partially sintered A1N, both pure and with additives, were investigated. The elastic constants, determined by the ultrasonic pulse-echo method, were significantly influenced by the porosity, but not by the different types of additives used (2 wt. (%) of CaCO3, CaO, and Y2O3). All el… Show more

“…The time of flight of the ultrasonic pulse was measured with an oscilloscope (TDS 1002, Tektronix, USA) and the thickness of the sample was measured with a digital micrometer (Mitutoyo, Brazil). Sonic velocities were calculated by: 2 t/a, where t is the specimen thickness and a is the time of flight 16 . The density of the specimens was determined by the Archimedes' principle, using water as the immersion liquid.…”

“…The porosity dependence of elastic moduli can be estimated by a simple linear model at very low porosities, while over a broad range of porosities the relationship is non-linear. A great number of models have been proposed to describe the variation in elastic moduli with porosity [113][114][115][116], notably including those of Hasselman [117] and Knudsen [118]. However, variation of elastic moduli is dependent not only on the volume of porosity but also its morphology, precluding use of one model to describe the variation for all materials [119].…”

“…The Poisson's ratio (ν) and Young's modulus (E) were determined using a 200 MHz ultrasonic pulser-receiver (Panametrics, USA, 5900 PR), 20 MHz longitudinal pulses, as described by Yoshimura et al 28 The measured bulk density, longitudinal velocity and shear velocity were used as the parameters. Ten measurements at both velocities were made on polished samples with composition corresponding to the different mixtures.…”
