Abstract

The crack initiation sequence during Vickers indenter penetration into the (100) plane of diamond was observed. It was revealed that for <110> orientation, two median cracks are initiated during the loading half of the cycle. In unloading, the median cracks grow toward the surface and turn into half-penny cracks. It was proposed to use half-penny cracks as initials and evaluate fracture toughness in second loading from a crack-starting load for these cracks. The length of initial half-penny cracks was measured after first loading cycle from opposite side of the sample. Test results obtained by the reloading technique agree well with the data on conventional fracture toughness determination by indentation from the length of cracks after unloading.
