Subsurface deformation of machined Al2O3 and Al2O3/5vol%SiC nanocomposite.

Under machine grinding, material removal in monolithic Al2O3 is by intergranular fracture and grain pull-out. In comparison, under the same grinding conditions, an Al2O3/5%SiC nanocomposite undergoes significant surface grooving and intragranular fracture. The subsurface deformation mechanisms were...
