Abstract
Cracks produced by indenters in zirconia-TiC ceramic and surface defects in SiSiC ceramic generated by machining were imaged by photothermal radiometry, mirage effect, photoacoustic microscopy with gas cell and piezoelectric detection and scanning acoustic microscopy. The different appearance of the artificial cracks is studied in comparison.
