Residual stress and subsurface damage in machined alumina and alumina/silicon carbide nanocomposite ceramics

We have used TEM and Hertzian indentation to study the interrelation between subsurface damage and residual stress introduced by grinding and diamond polishing surfaces of polycrystalline alumina and 5%SiC/alumina nanocomposites. In all cases a layer of high dislocation density was found near the su...
