This study focuses on the crack healing behavior of three kinds of commercial SiC ceramics. Specimens with and without cracks were subjected to thermal treatment at different temperatures, and their strengths were measured by a three-point bending test in accordance with JIS standards. The tests were performed in air at both room temperature and elevated temperatures between 600 degrees and 1500 degreesC, The healed specimens shelved a complete recovery of strength at room temperature for the investigated crack sizes of 2c congruent to 100 mum and 2c congruent to 200 mum, and their strength increased in accordance with the healing temperature. The behavior of the healed specimens at elevated temperatures was influenced by the material used and the test temperature. Generally, the strength decreased at a high temperature, but the degree of strength reduction was determined by the kind of ceramic. The most important difference between the healed and smooth specimens was exhibited in material A. It was observed that at 1400 degreesC, the bending strength of the healed specimens made from this ceramic was about 37% of the value for specimens in an as-received state. Static fatigue tests were also performed for ceramic B at 900 degrees and 1000 degreesC. The experiment demonstrated that the static fatigue limit of a healed specimen is about 75% of the monotonic bending strength at the same temperature.
