Abstract
The behavior of alumina under thermal shock was explored, focusing on the effect of thickness on the driving force for cracking. The phenomenon of the increasing quenching temperature with decreasing thickness was analyzed numerically, and the role played by thermal and mechanical properties was established. Comparison between experimental results and numerical analysis indicated that the temperature measurements fail to describe the temperature at the bottom surface of thin specimens.
