Abstract
The dynamic fatigue method was used to obtain subcritical crack growth parameters n and A for a commercial feldspathic dental porcelain and for a lanthanum-glass-infiltrated alumina glass ceramic. Five stress rates dσ/dt ranging from 50 to 0.01 MPa s−1 were applied. The inert strength values were calculated with the use of Weibull statistics and maximum-likelihood approaches for the Weibull parameter m. Strength–probability–time (SPT) diagrams were derived for both materials. The alumina glass composite showed a high fracture strength σ0 (442 MPa) at a failure probability of PF = 63.2% and a high resistance against subcritical crack growth (n = 36.5). The development of strength under fatigue conditions was calculated for exemplary 1 year. The strength of the alumina glass material dropped to 228 MPa within this period. This fact is due to a low content of infiltrated lanthanum glass phase in the composite material (25 wt%). In contrast, for the high-silica-glass-containing porcelain a distinct decrease of strength σ0 from initial 133 to 47 MPa after 1 year was predicted. This, mainly because of a low crack growth resistance (n = 16.8) of the feldspathic porcelain. Much lower strength values were calculated, assuming a failure probability of PF = 5%. The decrease is mainly caused by the sensitivity of high–glass-containing ceramics against water corrosion. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res (Appl Biomater) 63: 780–785, 2002Keywords
