Notes:
Comparative measurements have been made of the high-temperature flexure strength characteristics of synroc-C in air and argon environments. The stress–strain curves for synroc show a large deviation from linearity with increasing temperature in both environments, indicating a brittle–ductile transition. Strength is relatively constant at ≤800°C, followed by a discernible increase, with a peak at ∼920°C in air and 940°C in argon, and then a dramatic drop-off. The strengthening response is explored with reference to microstructural changes, in particular oxidation effects, and the implications of the observations are discussed.
