Record 1 2011-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallography
CONT

Electron fractographic examinations were made of [the] various fractures [in this study]. When scanning electron microscopes (SEM) were utilized, examinations were made along a diameter which passed through the final area of separation. (Source: ASTM Special Technical Publication 493, 1971, p. 41).

OBS

"Microfractographic" is normally used only to refer to cases where the electron microscope is used, though in Metals Handbook (1968) it has been used to refer to cases where light microscopy is used. Source of "microfractographic": ASTM Special Technical Publication 493, 1971, p. 20.

A fractographic photograph.

OBS

Fractography: the microscopic examination of fractured metal surfaces.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vocabulaire général
OBS

Désigne l'image fractographique. On emploie plutôt microfractographie quand il s’agit d’un microscope électronique.

OBS

La fractographie [= analyse morphologique des cassures] d’un échantillon incomplètement compacté permet de mettre en évidence des manifestations des deux mécanismes (d’après Matériaux et techniques 1977, vol. 65, no. 11-12, p. 719)

OBS

Les images électroniques des surfaces de cassure, ou microfractographies, sont de la sorte devenues familières aux spécialistes [...].

Record 3 1986-12-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallography
CONT

Fracture surfaces of metals can now be examined at magnifications up to 50,000 x by the electron microscope. This technique, termed "electron microfractography", may become an important tool in failure analysis ...

OBS

While the term "microfractography" has generally been used in this sense, it has also been used to designate cases where a light microscope is used as opposed to no microscope at all (i.e., "macrofractography").

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallographie
CONT

[...] La microfractographie électronique [...] permet, par une étude fine des surfaces de cassure, d’analyser les processus de rupture les plus divers et souvent d’en séparer les principaux facteurs.(Source : de Leiris, 1974, p. 1).

OBS
