Paper Abstract
The strengths of sapphire disks of two different crystallographic orientations and
bars of three different orientations were measured as a function of temperature in ring-on-
ring flexure or 4-point bending. One set of disks (OO cut) had the crystallographic
C -axis normal to the flat surface which contained the crystallographic a- and m -axes. The
average strength of these disks dropped from 154 ksi at 20°C to 21 ksi at 800°C. In another
set of disks (900 cut), the crystallographic c- and m -axes were parallel to the flat surface.
The average strength of these disks dropped from 84 ksi at 20°C to 48 ksi at 800°C. The
strength of sapphire bars whose tensile axis was the crystallographic m axis dropped from
103 ksi at 20°C to 86 ksi at 1400°C. The strength of sapphire bars whose tensile axis was the
crystallographic a-axis dropped from 113 ksi at 20°C to 74 ksi at 1400°C. The strength of
sapphire bars whose tensile axis was the crystallographic c-axis dropped from 153 ksi at
20°C to 35 ksi at 1400°C.
