Abstract
The effect of specimen and bath temperature on the failure of brittle ceramics in a thermal quench experiment was studied by quenching glass and alumina rods in water and silicon oil baths at different temperatures. The results were discussed in terms of the variation of heat transfer coefficient of the quenching media and the change in material properties as a function of temperature. It was found that the usual assumption of constant heat transfer coefficient and material properties may lead to considerable errors in the quantitative interpretation of the results of thermal quench experiments. Effective values for the film coefficient of heat transfer for water and oil baths were estimated as a function of film temperature from thermal quench data. Recommendations were made for the selection of quenching media and for the procedure to be followed in reporting the results.
