image of intergrannular fracture indicative of hydrogen
embrittlement. (Mag: 400X) |
| Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
image of fatigue striations indicative of cyclic
crack propagation. (Mag: 700X) |

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
image of "beach marks" indicative of a
progressive fatigue failure. The area of fatigue
initiation is noted at the arrow. (Mag: 180X)

| Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
image of the surface of a casting void in the fracture
surface of an aluminum casting. (Mag: 1,000X)

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
image of a brittle fracture surface in an aluminum
casting. The angular particles in the surface
are silicon particles that contribute to the brittleness
of the material. (Mag: 1,000X) |
