Extract

The strength of ceramics or glasses can be increased by placing their surfaces into compression. Techniques include ion exchange, temperature glazing, surface chemical reactions and stress-induced phase transformations. Although most of these techniques are well recognized, little effort has been expended In experimentally determining the magnitude of the compressive stress, and in particular, to use experimental evidence to identify important material and process parameters that need to be controlled. The goal of this investigation was to determine some of the factors that effect the magnitude, profile and depth of the compressive layer introduced by a structural phase transformation. X-ray residual stress measurements were used to directly determine the state of the surface residual stress.
