Residual stress determination and subsurface microstructure in ground and polished alumina/silicon carbide nanocomposites and monolithic alumina ceramics

The surface residual stress state induced by grinding and polishing an alumina/silicon carbide nanocomposite and monolithic alumina has been investigated using Hertzian indentation and fluorescence spectroscopy. Specimens were ground and then polished with diamond slurry with grit sizes ranging betw...
