## Abstract Fracture toughness and modulus of rupture tests have been carried out on three aluminas, which differed in composition and microstructure, in a variety of environments (air, deionized water, albumen/salt solution, Ringer's solution, and fresh human plasma). Generally tests in liquid env
The critical intensity factor K,, of a single crystal alumina (1100)-plane in air and in a simulated body environment was measured. Based on these measurements, the esti- mated durability of a single crystal alumina disk in a ceramic heart valve was determined. Standard single-edge notched beam spec
## Abstract The use of ceramic‐on‐ceramic (alumina‐ and zirconia‐based) couplings in hip joint prostheses has been reported to produce lower wear rates than other combinations (i.e., metal‐on‐polyethylene and ceramic‐on‐polyethylene). The addition of zirconia into an alumina matrix (zirconia‐toughe
