A Molecular Mechanism for Stress Corrosion in Vitreous Silica

MICHALSKE, TERRY A., FREIMAN, STEPHEN W.·1983·Journal of the American Ceramic Society

Abstract

The mechanical strength of most glasses and ceramics decreases with time under static loading in an ambient environment. This strength loss is associated with slow growth of preexisting surface flaws due to stress corrosion by water from the surrounding environment. We studied stress corrosion in vitreous silica exposed to water and several nonaqueous environments; environments which enhance stress‐corrosion crack growth in silica contain active groups with electron donor sites on one end and proton donor sites at the other. These results suggest a detailed chemical model for the interaction of the environment with mechanically strained bonds in the solid at the tip of a crack. The proposed model for stress‐corrosion crack growth also has implications for the long‐term strength behavior of a wide variety of brittle materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
