Abstract

A micro-sized fracture testing method has been applied to investigate fracture toughness of alpha-Nb₅Si₃. Chevron-notched single crystal specimens with a size of 3 × 3 × 15 μm³ were prepared in a grain of polycrystalline alpha-Nb₅Si₃ by focused ion beam, FIB, technique. Fracture tests were conducted using a nanoindenter at room temperature and linear load-displacement curves and smooth fracture surfaces were obtained. This fracture behavior was presumed to be brittle fracture similar to bulk alpha-Nb₅Si₃. The average of fracture toughness K_q is 3.45 ± 0.29 MPa√m under a small-scale yielding condition.
