Ceramics, Volume 9, Issue 7

2026 July - 9 articles

Cover Story: In general, fracture in ceramics originates at microstructural defects such as voids, resulting in linear and continuous crack propagation. In zirconia where voids have been completely eliminated, no intrinsic fracture origins remain. Consequently, a greater amount of fracture energy can be stored within the material before fracture. When the accumulated energy reaches the critical limit, fracture does not proceed from a single origin. Instead, a finite volume of the material collapses simultaneously into fine fragments. Within this region, lattice bonds are ruptured almost instantaneously, releasing a large number of shared electrons. The sudden emission of these electrons generates intense electrical discharges, which appear as bright fracture-induced sparks. View this paper
