Large amounts of brittle cracks and cleavage steps are observed on the fragmented chip surface obtained under the ultra-high cutting speed.
In contrast to these observations, Ebner et al. (2000) have found a strong correlation between all observed morphological features of PB1 (intact versus rough surface, fragmented or enlarged) and fertilization rates/embryo quality.
The objects, albeit fragmented, showed a good surface preservation through the formation of smooth corrosion layers.
The heavily deformed surface layer comprised fragmented grains and dislocation sub-cells.
Formation of a deformed zone near the surface with highly fragmented grain structure as well as martensitic transformation has been found for ground austenitic stainless steel 304L (Acharyya et al. 2012).
