... Any correlation of microfractography and macrofractography would enhance the understanding of fracture behavior. Association of the(microscopic) modes of fracture with the(macroscopic) fracture transitional appearances of steel also may provide a characterization of the fracture process according to the concepts of fracture mechanics.(Source : ASTM Special Publication no. 493, 1971, p. 37).

Les aspects macro- et microfractographiques ont été examinés au microscope électronique à balayage et par répliques par microscope électronique conventionnel. (Source: Mém. Scient. Rev. MeAtall., 1973, vol. 70, no. 6, p. 477).

Record 2 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").

[...] 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).
