ASTM C 1469 (C-1469) determines the shear strength of joints in advanced ceramics at ambient temperature. Joints are used to enhance the performance and applicability of the ceramics which are candidates for structural applications that require high degrees of wear and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. This test method may be used for quality assurance, characterization, comparison, and research and development. TestResources provides machines, grips, equipment, and fixtures for testing in accordance with ASTM C1469.
