Record 1 1997-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallurgy - General
DEF

A type of irregular surface produced when metal is broken that is characterized by a rough, grainlike appearance, rather than a smooth or fibrous one.

OBS

Granular fracture can be subclassified as transgranular fracture or intergranular fracture. It is frequently called crystalline fracture; however, the inference that the metal broke because it "crystallized" is not justified, because all metals are crystalline in the solid state.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallurgie générale

OBS

Une rupture granulaire peut être de type intergranulaire ou de type transgranulaire.
