C28 Advanced Ceramics Committee
C28 Scope --The promotion of knowledge, stimulation of research, and the development of standards (classifications, specifications, nomenclature, test methods, guides, and practices) relating to processing, properties, characterization, and performance of advanced ceramic materials.
10Jan-08
History of C28
• Mid 80s -- The crest of the advanced ceramics technology wave!!− High temperature structural applications in
aerospace, automotive, energy-production, electronics, wear/abrasion, and environment control.
• Standards were needed for advanced ceramics, but this was outside the scope ASTM C21-Whitewares and ASTM C8 Refractories
2008 - Over 40 advanced ceramic test standardsdeveloped and published in ASTM Vol 15.01.
1986 - ASTM C28 Advanced Ceramics was established

Definition of a Test Standard
GENERAL OUTLINE• Scope• Referenced Documents• Terminology• Summary of Test Method• Significance and Use• Interferences• Apparatus• Reagents and Materials• Hazards
• Sampling, Test Specimens and Test Units
• Preparation of Apparatus• Calibration and Standardization• Conditioning• Procedure• Calculation or Interpretation of
Results• Report Requirements• Precision & Bias• Keywords
ASTM Standard Test Method -- a concise description of an orderly procedure for determining a property or constituent of amaterial, an assembly of materials, or a product.• Includes all the essential details as to apparatus, test specimen, procedure, and
calculations needed to achieve satisfactory precision and bias.
• Represents a consensus as to the best currently available test procedure for the use intended
• Supported by experience and adequate data obtained from cooperative tests.
14Jan-08
Testing and Measuring
The challenge is to develop consensus-based tests that we all can use with confidence and reliability within our producer-user-research community.
Why Test and Measure??For material and structural developmentDesign data Product characterization and quality control Engineering/ production specificationsFailure Analysis
If you can’t test and measure it accurately and reliably, you can’t control it.
15Jan-08
WITHOUT STANDARDS !!!!
AT BEST!!!− Confusion over terminology, test
procedures, protocols, and data requirements.
− Conflicting and/or incomplete data comparison
− Multiple test requirements from multiple users and developers.
AT WORST!!!− BAD TESTS with invalid, unreliable,
irreproducible, and incomplete property data.

The ASTM Standards Process
A defined and regulated volunteer process with --1. Extensive guides, formats, and methods for standards
development.2. A defined procedure for reaching consensus.3. Requirements for precision and bias determination.4. Three levels of technical reviews/ballots.5. Formal documentation. 6. Quadrennial reviews and reballots.
How long does it take to publish a standard?Progress depends entirely on the urgency of the need, the complexity
of the job, and the amount of time committees devote to the work.The time frame for developing a standard ranges from less than six
months to two years or more.

Situation and Opportunity
• Opportunity -- A comprehensive, verified set of test standards for US and global use− supported by researchers, equipment manufacturers,
testing laboratories, and academia− Sponsored and published by ASTM (C28 advanced
ceramics committee)
The Situation – Multiple sources, users, and researchers with no consensus on how to test and characterize mechanical properties at the nano and micro scale --
“Everyone tests and reports differently”
24Jan-08
SummaryWhy the C28 Committee??• A proven record of productivity,
effectiveness, and speed in publishing accurate and complete test standards for advanced ceramics(+40 standards in 20 years)
• Over 95 members from the advanced ceramics community around the globe, representing producers, users, government labs, and academia.
• A well-defined and effective process for standard development, publication, and maintenance.
• A new initiative on performance-oriented ceramics (nanoceramics, porous ceramics, fuel cells, armor, sensors, etc.)
