Fractography - An Important Tool For Analyzing Metal Failurews by alexandroneis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper describes fractography techniques as used in routine failure analysis. The detailed markings on a fracture surface, the fractureprint, so to speak, will often provide the forensic metallurgist with important clues. When a metal fractures, a crack traverses this complex structure separating it into two or more parts. The crack adopts a unique surface topography which depends on the stress, strain, strain rate, temperature, and environmental conditions.
