Abstract
The relation between grain size and grain‐boundary microcracking during cooling in aluminum titanate ceramics was studied. Microcracking temperature was determined by the measurement of thermal contraction and expansion, which was accompanied by acoustic emission. When the ceramics were cooled at a rate of 6°C/min, stress relaxation did not occur below the sintering temperature of 1500°C. The relation between the temperature difference from the sintering temperature to the microcracking temperature and the grain size showed good agreement with the prediction based on the energy criterion of grain‐boundary microcracking.Keywords
