    Notes: γ-TiAl-based materials have the ability to provide superior creep strength, high yield strength and Young's modulus at temperatures as high as 700 °C. This has led to the consideration of γ-TiAl-based materials for use in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) intended for application at elevated temperatures. One γ-TiAl-based material under consideration for these applications is the composition known as Alloy 7/Ti–46Al–5Nb–1W (at%). In this case, this material is tested in the as-wrought form with a fully lamellar structure and a colony size ≈75 μm. The effect of loading volumes of this material smaller than conventional samples is investigated. This is carried out in order to improve understanding of the fracture toughness behaviour, which ultimately will be required of components of this material with a cross-section ≈18 × 6 μm. Here, we focus upon a specially developed machine, which provides accurate loading of microsized cantilever beams through a diamond tip. The directional nature of the fracture toughness properties of this material is considered in relation to the local orientation of the lamellar microstructure and the resulting failure modes occurring.

    Notes: SU-8 is a photoplastic polymer with a wide range of possible applications in microtechnology. Cantilevers designed for atomic force microscopes were fabricated in SU-8. The mechanical properties of these cantilevers were investigated using two microscale testing techniques: contact surface profilometer beam deflection and static load deflection at a point on the beam using a specially designed test machine. The SU-8 Young's modulus value from the microscale test methods is approximately 2–3 GPa.

    Notes: Fracture and fatigue tests have been performed on micro-sized specimens for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) or micro system technology (MST) applications. Cantilever beam type specimens with dimensions of 10 × 12 × 50 μm3, approximately 1/1000th the size of ordinary-sized specimens, were prepared from a Ni–P amorphous thin film by focused ion beam machining. Fatigue crack growth and fracture toughness tests were carried out in air at room temperature, using a mechanical testing machine developed for micro-sized specimens. In fracture toughness tests, fatigue pre-cracks were introduced ahead of the notches. Fatigue crack growth resistance curves were obtained from the measurement of striation spacing on the fatigue surface, with closure effects on the fatigue crack growth also being observed for micro-sized specimens. Once fatigue crack growth occurs, the specimens fail within one thousand cycles. This indicates that the fatigue life of micro-sized specimens is mainly dominated by a crack initiation process, also suggesting that even a micro-sized surface flaw may be an initiation site for fatigue cracks which will shorten the fatigue life of micro-sized specimens. As a result of fracture toughness tests, the values of plane strain fracture toughness, KIC, were not obtained because the criteria of plane strain were not satisfied by this specimen size. As the plane strain requirements are determined by the stress intensity, K, and by the yield stress of the material, it is difficult for micro-sized specimens to satisfy these requirements. Plane-stress- and plane-strain-dominated regions were clearly observed on the fracture surfaces and their sizes were consistent with those estimated by fracture mechanics calculations. This indicates that fracture mechanics is still valid for such micro-sized specimens. The results obtained in this investigation should be considered when designing actual MEMS/MST devices.

    Notes: A direct measurement of the crack-driving stress has been attempted by applying ananoindentation-combined, stress-probing technique to the expected crack routes ahead of a Vickers impression. The nanoindentation curves close to the remnant indent were compared to those of an unstressed bare sample and were interpreted into quantitative stress values. In detail, from the difference of two stress distributions measured from uncracked and cracked indentation corners, the driving stress for the radial cracking was estimated; a rapid decaying response with a distance to the Vickers indent center with the peak value 406.7MPa. The fracture toughness of soda-lime glass, estimated by taking into account the results measured in this study was 0.74 ± 0.15 2 / 1 m MPa × and was comparable with that of the literature

    Notes: Reliability is one of the most critical issues for designing practical MEMS devices. Inparticular, the fracture toughness of micro-sized MEMS elements is important, as micro/nano-sized flaws can act as a crack initiation sites to cause failure of such devices. Existing MEMS devices commonly use single crystal silicon. Fracture toughness testing upon micro-sized single crystal silicon was therefore carried out to examine whether a fracture toughness measurement technique, based upon the ASTM standard, is applicable to 1/1000th sized silicon specimens. Notched cantilever beam type specimens were prepared by focused ion beam machining. Two specimens types with different notch orientations were prepared. The notch plane/direction were (100)/[010], and (110)/[ _ ,110], respectively. Fracture toughness tests were carried out using a mechanical testing machine for micro-sized specimens. Fracture has been seen to occur in a brittle manner in bothorientations. The provisional fracture toughness values (KQ) are 1.05MPam1/2 and 0.96MPam1/2, respectively. These values meet the micro-yielding criteria for plane strain fracture toughness values (KIC). Fracture toughness values for the orientations tested are of the same order as values in the literature. The results obtained in this investigation indicate that the fracture toughness measurementmethod used is applicable for micro-sized components of single crystal silicon in MEMS devices

    Notes: There are strong demands for a machining process capable of reducing the surfaceroughness of sliding parts, such as auto parts and other components, with high efficiency. In this work, we attempted to grind hardened steel to a mirror-like surface finish with high efficiency using an ultra-high speed grinding process. In the present study, we examined the effects of the work speed and the grinding wheel grain size in an effort to optimize the grinding conditions for accomplishing mirror-like surface grinding with high efficiency. The results showed that increasing the work speed, while keeping grinding efficiency constant, was effective in reducing the work affected layer and that the grinding force of a #200 CBN wheel was lower than that of a #80 CBN wheel. Based on these results, a high-efficiency grinding step with optimized grinding conditions was selected that achieved excellent ground surface quality with a mirror-like finish

    Notes: The effective fracture toughness testing of materials intended for application in MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) devices is required in order to improve understanding of how they may be expected to perform upon the micro scale. γ-TiAl based materials are being considered for application in MEMS devices required to operate at elevated temperatures. The effect of different preparation methods upon resulting fracture toughness and development of testing methods for these devices is therefore of importance. Micro-sized cantilevers of the γ-TiAl alloy“Alloy 7” (Ti-46Al-5Nb-1W) were therefore prepared using either mechanical or chemical final stage polishing and subsequently used to evaluate fracture toughness. The effectiveness of the evaluation of micro-sized samples of γ-TiAl in this manner is considered, as well as the effects of the different processing methods and variations in properties according to lamellar orientation
