  • Viscous crack healing in soda–lime–magnesium–silicate–ZrO 2 glass matrix composites Carsten Blaeß Ralf Müller Journal of the American Ceramic Society Abstract The present study investigates the influence of the crystal volume content on viscous crack healing in glass ceramic glass sealants. To ensure constant microstructure during healing, soda–lime–magnesium silicate glass matrix composites with varied volume fractions of ZrO 2 filler particles were used. Crack healing was studied on radial cracks induced by Vickers indentation, which were stepwise annealed to monitor the healing progress by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Confirming previous studies, healing of radial cracks in pure glass was found delayed by global flow phenomena like crack widening and crack edge and tip rounding to minimize the sample surface. With increasing ZrO 2 filler content, these global flow phenomena were progressively inhibited whereas local flow phenomena like sharp crack tip healing could still occur. As a result, crack healing was even accelerated by filler particles up to a maximum filler content of 17 vol% whereas crack healing was fully suppressed only at 33 vol% filler content. 10.1111/jace.20002 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
