Abstract: The principle and mechanism
of the brittleness determination of surface treatment layers by
rigid ball indentation combined with acoustic emission technique
were studied and the application of this method were discussed.
It was shown that the sphere of action of main factors
influencing surface brittleness behaviour could be synthetically
expressed by this method; The surface layer properties of
different surface treatment processes could be compared with
each other by the method; So it can be used to provide basis for
selection of technique processes and parameters, and it has real
application value.
