Abstract:In the present study, densification, mechanical properties (elastic modulus,
hardness, flexural strength) and stored elastic energy-fragmentation of the
pure Al2O3 and Al2O3-Cr2O3 ceramics with different Cr2O3 volume content
(0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 vol.%) were investigated. The fragmentation
behaviour was interpreted from the point of armour application as larger
fragments are required for higher penetration resistance. The equibiaxial
flexural strength test method was used to measure the fr… Show more
