Abstract: | Preliminary results indicate that large strains (∼80%) and strain rates (0.001 s−1) can be obtained without tearing (or cracking) in fine-grain ZrO2 (0.3 μm) and Al2O3/ZrO2 (1 μm) ceramics. Alumina develops crystallographic and morphological texture as previously reported by Heuer et al.1 |
