Fracture in Metals: Theory and Protection | Metallurgy

"Fracture" is the Breaking of a Metal to Yield an Irregular Surface: The topography of the fractured surface is an important characteristics intimately connected with the crystalline form and in some cases it may give an indication of the purity of the metal. In a polycrystalline material there can be three distinct modes of fracture as given below: 1. Inter-granular [...]
