using the Vickers hardness testing machine. Fig. 4a represents the tensile test specimen, Fig. 4b represents the tensile test specimen after fracture, Fig. 4c represents the compression test specimen and Fig. 4d represents the compression test specimen after fracture. All the experiments were done on three different samples and the deviation was demonstrated by means of error bar in the plots representing mechanical properties.
