Comparison of zirconia toughened alumina fracture toughness obtained from Vickers indentation by applying various equations

Alumina ceramics (Al 2 O 3 ) displays excellent mechanical properties highly demanded in various fields of application. However, low fracture toughness (K IC ) property of the alumina ceramics limits their functionability such as heavy-duty forming tools and refractories. Adding a second composition...
