Biaxial Flexural Strength of High-Translucence Monolithic Ceramics upon Various Thicknesses

Figure 1

Ceramic was milled in a cylindrical shape (a), sectioned into circular discs (b), and sintered in the furnace (c) to derive for circular discs of 12 mm diameter with a thickness of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 mm (d).
