摘要: Transmission electron microscopy provided direct evidence that plastic deformation occurs during the room-temperature indentation and abrasion of Al2O3. Examination single-crystal polycrystalline specimens showed high densities dislocations are produced within near-surface regions by mechanical polishing with a fine diamond compound (0.25 μm) both slip twinning placement Vickers microhardness indentations. The occurrence in this normally brittle material is considered to be consequence nature magnitude local stresses developed under pointed indenters irregularly shaped abrasive particles. Preliminary results on effect annealing retained substructure also presented. Annealing at 900°C higher resulted reduction residual through motion their rearrangement into lower-energy configurations.
