Abstract

Single crystals of Al2O3 were implanted with chromium and zirconium to fluences of 1 × 1016 to 1 × 1017 ions cm−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°C were studied.
