Microfracture process during the bending tests of alumina ceramics were evaluated by acoustic emission technique. Different size specimens were used for the bending tests in order to investigate the dependence of microfracture process on the specimen size. A remarkable point in the AE generation pattern of each specimen, at which both AE events and energy increased rapidly, was observed before the final unstable fracture. It is important that the apparent stress at those points were independent of the AE threshold level and specimen size. Using the Fluorescent dye penetrant method, the fracture process on the surface was observed, then it has been understood that the stress corresponds to the critical stress for the maincrack formation due to the coalescence of microcracks and/or pores. Considering the microfracture process, statistical treatment for the strength of brittle materials has been discussed. Consequently, it was concluded that the critical stress can be the advanced evaluation parameter, which is equivalent to yield strength in metals, for ceramic materials.
