Abstract
THE recent demonstration by Gorum, Parker and Pask1 that magnesium oxide crystals could be bent plastically at room temperature has stimulated considerable interest in ductile ceramics. The plastic behaviour of alumina crystals at elevated temperatures as shown by Wachtman and Maxwell2 and Kronberg3 also directed attention to the fundamental behaviour of refractory oxides.
