Abstract
The paper presents the results of fracture toughness testing under local loading (indentation) for specimens of cutting-tool hardmetals upon surface treatment with a highly concentrated plasma jet. The authors of the paper address the influence of the plasma modification process and conditions on the mechanisms of crack initiation and growth.
