Publication date:   Jul 30, 2004

Scope

This part of CEN/TS 14425 provides a test method for fracture toughness determination based on the chevron-notch method. For the purposes of this standard, the term monolithic includes particle and whisker reinforced advanced technical ceramics which can be regarded as macroscopically homogeneous. It does not included long-fibre reinforced ceramics.
