Notes:
The erosive wear susceptibility of porous and near-fully-dense liquid-phase-sintered (LPS) alumina ceramics has been studied from dry particle impact testing. Results show that the wear rates remained relatively constant with increasing porosity to a level above which the wear degradation was accelerated markedly. Microscopic observations indicate evidence of scratching and inelastic deformation in the erosion sites of the most porous structures, while brittle fracture and grain dislodgment dominated the material removal processes in the dense material. Implications of the erosion response in the LPS aluminas are discussed.
