Various types of boron filaments were broken in tension in such a way that primary fracture surfaces, and fragments ejected when fracture occurred, were retained. Fracture surfaces observed in the scanning electron microscope could be placed into one of two broad categories. Type I surfaces exhibited primary fracture characteristics such as mirror, mist and hackle zones. Flaws which initiated failure could frequently be resolved. Type II surfaces appeared to be generated by subsequent fracture…

Application of the Griffith criterion to fracture of boron fibres
Tensile tests were performed on boron fibres and the resulting fracture stressesσf recorded. The fracture surfaces were investigated by SEM, with emphasis on the type of flaw nucleating the fracture.…
Tensile strength and crack nucleation in boron fibres
Boron fibres of about 100Μm diameter have been tested to fracture in a micro-tensile testing machine. The fracture surfaces have been investigated using a scanning electron microscope and classified…
Radial cracks in boron fibres
The morphology of so-called radial cracks in boron fibres is studied in transverse and axial cross-sections, as well as in fracture surfaces. A formation mechanism is proposed in terms of the…
Mechanical properties and surface defects of boron fibres prepared in a closed CVD system
The tensile strength of boron fibres, prepared on a tungsten wire substrate suspended in a closed CVD system, has been investigated. The influence of strain-rate, gauge length, and fibre diameter on…
Anelastic Creep of Boron Fibers
High performance fibers of boron, silicon carbide, and alumina form the basis for the recent advances made in metal matrix composites. In matrices such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel-base alloys,…
The initial stages of growth and the origin of proximate voids in boron fibres
The formation of so-called proximate voids (i.e. voids near the core-mantle interface) in boron fibres has been studied experimentally. The mantle growth was interrupted in very early stages of…
The morphologies of boron fibres in the temperature range 1000 to 1500° C and the relationship between mechanical properties and morphology
The main surface morphologies of boron fibres in the temperature range 1000 to 1500° C and the relevant experimental conditions for obtaining them have been investigated. After tensile testing of…

On the shape and size of the fracture zones on glass fracture surfaces
Abstract A simple empirical equation has been obtained which relates both the shape and the size of the fracture zones to the stress distribution under which failure occurred. The relationship is…
MACROSTRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF VAPOR‐DEPOSITED BORON AND SILICON CARBIDE FILAMENT
Difference in the macrostructure of vapor‐deposited B and SiC filaments have been related to the extent of reaction between the deposited material and its tungsten substrate. Chemical reactions…
