ZERODUR® Komponenten übernehmen ebenso Präzisionsaufgaben
in der Elektronik- und Halbleiterindustrie: als Spiegeloptiksubstrat
in Lithografiegeräten zur Herstellung Tausender oder
gar Millionen von Schaltkreisen für die Farbgestaltung bei LCDbei
immer höheren statischen und dynamischen Belastungsprofilen
einsetzen wollen. Und dies jetzt auch können – dank präziser
Vorhersage der Festigkeit.
Mit ZERODUR® Glaskeramik werden u. a. filigrane Leichtgewichtsspiegelträger
für Satelliten oder Weltraumteleskope hergestellt,
bei denen durch dreieckige Ausfräsungen auf der Rückseite
eine Gewichtsreduktion von bis zu 90 Prozent erreicht wird.
THE STRENGTH OF ZERODUR ®
Breakage probability for different surface conditions
FESTIGKEIT VON ZERODUR ®
Bruchwahrscheinlichkeit bei unterschiedlicher Oberflächenbeschaffenheit
Now, the material experts at SCHOTT are in a position to offer
better data on strength for the extremely low thermal expansion
material ZERODUR® glass-ceramic. In the past, the “two-parameter
Weibull distribution” method was normally used to predict the
strength of a glass-ceramic. Here, the breaking stress and probability
of sample failure generated in a double ring test are displayed
in megapascal (MPa) and extrapolated. As SCHOTT optics expert
Dr. Peter Hartmann was able to prove in his work “ZERODUR®:
Deterministic Approach for Strength Design” that included a considerable
amount of sample data, this conventional approach no
longer suffices, but rather must be enhanced by using a modified
(Weibull) approach that takes three parameters into account. This
new approach provides a minimum strength value for defined surface
conditions and allows the service life to be calculated under
specified stress while taking into consideration material fatigue
under stress. There is another advantage to the approach over the
previous one. This model reduces statistical uncertainties and
overly conservative safety facts, and thus allows substantially higher
mechanical stresses to be applied to ZERODUR® components.
Customers in the fields of astronomy, aeronautics and lithography
who are interested in using ZERODUR® glass-ceramic with
significantly higher static and dynamic stress profiles will now be
able to do so thanks to more accurate predictions of its strength.
ZERODUR® glass-ceramic is used to manufacture filigree lightweight
mirror substrates for satellites and space telescopes. Their
weight can even be reduced by up to 90 percent by carving out
triangular-shaped structures from the backside. ZERODUR® components
also perform high-precision tasks in electronics and the
semiconductor industry. They are used as mirror substrates in li-

Breakage stress in MPa / Bruchwahrscheinlichkeit in MPa
The three parameter Weibull curves all drop to zero breakage probability depending
on the surface conditions. The minimum values are now much higher
than the previously used MPa, which means that ZERODUR ® can be used
with higher mechanical loads in the future.
Die dreiparametrischen Weibull-Kurven fallen alle zu einer Bruchwahrscheinlichkeit
von Null, abhängig von der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit. Die Minimalwerte
liegen jetzt wesentlich höher als die bisher verwendeten MPa, was künftig
den Einsatz von ZERODUR ® bei höheren mechanischen Belastungen ermöglicht.
