Thermal shock resistance of sintered alumina/silicon carbide nanocomposites evaluated by indentation techniques

The thermal shock resistance of sintered Al2O3/1, 2.5, and 5 vol% SiC nanocomposites was studied using two indentation techniques. In the first technique, "indentation thermal shock" measurements were made of the extension of median/radial cracks around Vickers indentations after quenching...
