In the high speed grinding with the object of high production in grinding works, the security from bursting of rotating wheels is strongly claimed. This paper deals statistically with the fracture, especially the delayed fracture that is remarkable in brittle materials such as the vitrified wheels, and experimental data are settled by the Weibull plot. The strength at ordinary test which breaks during load increasing and that at static fatigue test which looks for the time before fracture under a constant load are compared among tensile, bending and rotating test. At the ordinary test, the location parameter γ≠0 and the shape parameter
m>1. The value of
m and the mean strength μ are both largest in bending test, and rotating and tensile test follow in its train. At the fatigue test, the constant load is defined with the loading factor
S that is the reciprocal of the safety factor and
S=0.881.08. Results of these tests point out that γ≠0,
m<0.8 and the descending order of its magnitude is rotating, bending and tensile test and that
m decreases to approach a finite value as
S decreases. The static fatigue phenomenon is conspicuous in the same order as
m and the delayed fracture one in the reverse order. By assuming that
m=constant and
S-characteristic life relationship the assured safety life from bursting is estimated for
S=1/4 provided by the "Safety Code." This time is sufficiently safe compared with the engaged time of the wheel.
