Indentation fracture toughness and surface flaw analysis of sintered alumina/SiC nanocomposites

The fracture toughness (K1c) of pressureless-sintered monolithic α-alumina and its composites with 5, 10 and 15 vol% SiC nano-sized particles was investigated using Vickers indentation and a new Hertzian (ball) indentation technique. Both methods showed that the fracture toughness of the composites...
