Abstract
High-density infrared (HDI) technology was used to determine if it can be used to alter surface properties and decrease damage due to machining in ceramics. Weight changes observed during HDI treatment indicated that no severe decomposition took place. Surface melting was readily evident at exposures ≥ 1375 W/cm2. The melted surface had a highly oriented morphology with grains extending from the reaction zone interface to the surface, which was confirmed by x-ray diffractometry.
