    摘要: Embodiments include a method for forming a glass which displays visible cracking prior to failure when subjected to predetermined stress level that is greater than a predetermined minimum stress level and less than a failure stress level. The method includes determining a critical flaw size in the glass and introducing a residual stress profile to the glass so that a plurality of visible cracks are formed prior to failure when the glass is subjected to a stress that is greater than the minimum stress level and lower than the critical stress. One method for forming the residual stress profile includes performing a first ion exchange so that a first plurality of ions of a first element in the glass are exchanged with a second plurality of ions of a second element that have a larger volume than the first ions. A second ion exchange is also performed so that a plurality of the second ions in the glass are exchanged back to ions of the first element.

    摘要: A fuel injector nozzle assembly comprises a nozzle defining a guide bore, a fuel pressurization chamber, a seat, and a nozzle orifice. A check valve member has an impact area and a guide portion. The guide portion slides within the guide bore to allow the check valve member to slide between an open position and a closed position. In the open position the fuel pressurization chamber is in fluid communication with the nozzle orifice. In the closed position the impact area of the check valve member is pressing against the seat of the nozzle, and the check valve member is blocking fluid communication between the fuel pressurization chamber and the nozzle orifice. The check valve member comprises a ceramic material having a coefficient of thermal expansion &agr;>8×10−6/° C. when averaged over a temperature range of 0° C. to 300° C.
