Crack profile measurements near the crack tip in the SEM were used to measure crack tip toughness of alumina as a function of grain size (average grain size 0.9–16 μm). For comparative tests, two crack configurations were included in the present study: straight cracks (CT specimen) loaded with an in situ device; and radial indentation cracks. The measured crack tip toughness values were independent of crack geometry, and no grain size dependence could be discerned. A mean crack tip toughness of 2.3 MPam1/2 was evaluated. The crack tip toughness determined from crack profile measurements is significantly lower than the toughness evaluated with conventional indentation techniques (e.g., indentation strength bending).
