Hardness of alumina/silicon carbide nanocomposites at various silicon carbide volume percentages

Vickers indentation was employed to measure the microhardness of monolithic alumina and six alumina-based nanocomposites consisting of variable silicon carbide nanoparticle volume percentages of 0.3% to 20%. Indentation tests were performed over a broad range of loads from 0.5N to 40N. The resultant...
