Structure and properties of single crystal Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ implanted with chromium and zirconium

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5677705
Single crystals of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ were implanted with chromium and zirconium to fluences of 1 x 10/sup 16/ to 1 x 10/sup 17/ ions cm/sup -2/. Rutherford backscattering-channeling studies showed the surface layers to be damaged but crystalline with the implanted ions randomly distributed. The microhardness and indentation fracture toughness were higher for the random solutions than for conventionally formed solid solutions. Changes in structure and properties caused by annealing in air at temperatures up to 1800/sup 0/C were studied.
