The effects of hardness, toughness, microstructure and thermomechanical heating on the erosion of ceramic and ultrahard materials

Nine different ceramic and ultrahard materials have been eroded by four different erodents under standardised experimental conditions. The target materials range from the soft stabilised zirconias to the very hard polycrystalline diamond composites. The four erodent particles used were: soft, friabl...
