ASM Handbook Volume 12: Fractography
Product Description
Provides engineers with enhanced capability for recognizing and interpreting
the various features of a fracture, enabling you to perform improved failure
analyses and to better determine the relationship of the fracture mode to the
microstructure.
The Atlas of Fractographs, which comprises the second half of the volume, contains
over 1,300 fractographs that are invaluable for your understanding of the causes
and mechanisms of the fracture of engineering materials. In addition to a comprehensive
collection of fractographs of ferrous and nonferrous alloy parts and test specimens,
supplemental illustrations of failed metal- matrix composites, resin-matrix
composites, polymers, and electronic materials are included.
Sections include:
- History of Fractography,
- Modes of Fracture,
- Preparation and Preservation of
Fracture Specimens,
- Photography of Fractured Parts and Fracture Surfaces,
- Visual
Examination and Light Microscopy,
- Scanning Electron Microscopy,
- Transmission
Electron Microscopy,
- Quantitative Fractography,
- Fractal Analysis of Fracture
Surfaces,
- Atlas of Fractographs.
