The use of closely spaced vickers indentations to model erosion of polycrystalline α-Al2O3
Arrays of closely spaced quasi-static indentation were made on specimens of polycrystalline α-Al2O3, mean grain size G=1.2, 3.8 and 14.1 μm. The critical indentation spacing to produce crack coalescence between indentations, and thus significant loss of material from the surface, was determined. The...
