Case Company Foreword Volume 12 of the 9th Edition of Metals Handbook is the culmination of 43 years of commitment on the part of ASM to the science of fracture studies. It was at the 26th Annual Convention of the Society in October of 1944 that the term "fractography" was first introduced by Carl A. Zapffe, the foremost advocate and practitioner of early microfractography. Since then, the usefulness and importance of this tool have gained wide recognition. This Handbook encompasses every significant element of the discipline of fractography. Such depth and scope of coverage is achieved through a collection of definitive articles on all aspects of fractographic technique and interpretation. In addition, an Atlas of Fractographs containing 1343 illustrations is included. The product of several years of careful planning and preparation, the Atlas supplements the general articles and provides Handbook readers with an extensive compilation of fractographs that are useful when trying to recognize and interpret fracture phenomena of industrial alloys and engineered materials. The successful completion of this project is a tribute to the collective talents and hard work of the authors, reviewers, contributors of fractographs, and editorial staff. Special thanks are also due to the ASM Handbook Committee, whose members are responsible for the overall planning of each volume in the Handbook series. To all these men and women, we express our sincere gratitude. Raymond F. Decker President, ASM International Edward L. Langer Managing Director, ASM International Preface The subject of fractography was first addressed in a Metals Handbook volume in 1974. Volume 9 of the 8th Edition, Fractography and Atlas of Fractographs, provided systematic and comprehensive treatment of what was at that time a relatively new body of knowledge derived from examination and interpretation of features observed on the fracture surfaces of metals. The 8th Edition volume also documented the resurgence of engineering and scientific interest in fracture studies, which was due largely to the development and widespread use of the transmission electron microscope and the scanning electron microscope during the 1960s and early '70s. During the past 10 to 15 years, the science of fractography has continued to mature. With improve methods for specimen preparation, advances in photographic techniques and equipment, the continued refinement and increasing utility of the scanning electron microscope, and the introduction of quantitative fractography, a wealth of new information regarding the basic mechanisms of fracture and the response of materials to various environments has been introduced. This new volume presents in-depth coverage of the latest developments in fracture studies. Like its 8th Edition predecessor, this Handbook is divided into two major sections. The first consists of nine articles that present over 600 photographic illustrations of fracture surfaces and related microstructural features. The introductory article provides an overview of the history of fractography and discusses the development and application of the electron microscope for fracture evaluation. The next article, "Modes of Fracture," describes the basic fracture modes as well as some of the mechanisms involved in the fracture process, discusses how the environment affects material behavior and fracture appearance, and lists material defects where fracture can initiate. Of particular interest in this article is the section "Effect of Environment on Fatigue Fracture," which reviews the effects of gaseous environments, liquid environments, vacuum, temperature, and loading on fracture morphology. The following two articles contribute primarily to an understanding of proper techniques associated with fracture analysis. Care, handling, and cleaning of fractures, procedures for sectioning a fracture and opening secondary cracks, and the effect of nondestructive inspection on subsequent evaluation are reviewed in "Preparation and Preservation of Fracture Specimens." "Photography of Fractured Parts and Fracture Surfaces" provides extensive coverage of proper photographic techniques for examination of fracture surfaces by light microscopy, with the emphasis on photomacrography. The value of fractography as a diagnostic tool in failure analyses involving fractures can be appreciated when reading "Visual Examination and Light Microscopy." Information on the application and limitations of the light microscope for fracture studies is presented. A unique feature of this article is the numerous comparisons of fractographs obtained by light microscopy with those obtained by scanning electron microscopy. The next article describes the design and operation of the scanning electron microscope and reviews the application of the instrument to fractography. The large depth of field, the wide range of magnifications available, the simple nondestructive specimen preparation, and the three-dimensional appearance of SEM fractographs all contribute to the role of the scanning electron microscope as the principal tool for fracture studies. Although the transmission electron microscope is used far less today for fracture work, it remains a valuable tool for specific applications involving fractures. These applications are discussed in the article "Transmission Electron Microscopy," along with the various techniques for replicating and shadowing a fracture surface. A point-by-point comparison of TEM and SEM fractographs is also included. Quantitative geometrical methods to characterize the nonplanar surfaces encountered in fractures are reviewed in the articles "Quantitative Fractography" and "Fractal Analysis of Fracture Surfaces." Experimental techniques (such as stereoscopic imaging and photogrammetric methods), analytical procedures, and applications of quantitative fractography are examined. An Atlas of Fractographs constitutes the second half of the Handbook. The 270-page Atlas, which incorporates 31 different alloy and engineered material categories, contains 1343 illustrations, of which 1088 are SEM, TEM, or light microscope fractographs. The remainder are photographs, macrographs, micrographs, elemental dot patterns produced by scanning Auger electron spectroscopy or energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, and line drawings that serve primarily to augment the information in the fractographs. The introduction to the Atlas describes its organization and presentation. The introduction also includes three tables that delineate the distribution of the 1343 figures with respect to type of illustration, cause of fracture, and material category.

Zapffe in 1944 following his discovery of a means for overcoming the difficulty of bringing the lens of a microscope sufficiently near the jagged surface of a fracture to disclose its details within individual grains (Ref 1). The purpose of fractography is to analyze the fracture features and to attempt to relate the topography of the fracture surface to the causes and/or basic mechanisms of fracture (Ref 2). Etymologically, the word fractography is similar in origin to the word metallography; fracto stems from the Latin fractus, meaning fracture, and graphy derives from the Greek term grapho, meaning descriptive treatment. Alternate terms used to describe the study of fracture surfaces include fractology, which was proposed in 1951 (Ref 3). further diversification brought such terms as macrofractography and microfractography for distinguishing the visual and low magnification (≤ 25×) from the microscopic, and optical fractography and electron fractography for distinguishing between studies conducted using the light (optical) microscope and electron microscope. This article will review the historical development of fractography, from the early studies of fracture appearance dating back to the sixteenth century to the current state-of-the-art work in electron fractography and quantitative fractography. Additional information can be obtained from the cited references and from subsequent articles in this Volume.

According to metallurgical historian Cyril Stanley Smith, fracture surfaces have been analyzed to some degree since the beginning of the Bronze Age (Ref 5). Early metalsmiths and artisans most likely observed specific fracture characteristics of metal tools and weapons and related them to variables in smelting or melting procedures. Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries. The first specific written description of the use of fracture appearance to gage the quality of a metallurgical process was by Vannocio Biringuccio in De La Pirotechnia, published in 1540 (Ref 6). He described the use of fracture appearance as a means of quality assurance for both ferrous and nonferrous (tin and copper- tin bronzes) alloys. Another early authority was Lazarus Ercker, who discussed fracture tests in a 1574 publication (Ref 7). The quality of copper, for example, was determined by examining the fracture surface of an ingot that had been notched and then broken by a transverse blow. Brass was similarly tested. A gray fracture surface was found to be associated with subsequent cracking during working; this gray surface was the result of the use of a special variety of calamine, which caused lead contamination of the ingot. Brittle fractures of silver were traced to lead and tin contamination. In 1627, Louis Savot described in greater detail the use of the fracture test as a method of quality control of copper-tin- bismuth cast bells (Ref 8). He recorded observations of grain size in fracture control samples as a guide for composition adjustments to resist impact fracture when the bells were struck. In the same year, Mathurin Jousse described a method of selecting high-quality grades of iron and steel, based on the appearance of fracture samples (Ref 9). One of the most significant early contributions to the study of metal fractures was by de Réaumur (Ref 10), who published a book in 1722 that contained engravings illustrating both the macroscopic and microscopic appearance of fracture surfaces of iron and steel (although the microscope was invented circa 1600, at the time of de Réaumur it was necessary to sketch what one saw and then transfer the sketch to metal, wood, or stone by engraving). In this classical work, de Réaumur listed and illustrated seven classes of fracture appearance in iron and steel. These are described below and shown in Fig. 1: • Type I fracture: Large, irregularly arranged, mirrorlike facets, indicating inferior metal (Fig. 1a and b) • Type II fracture: More regular distribution and smaller facets, indicating a slightly improved metal (Fig. 1c to e) • Type III fracture: Interposed areas of fibrous metal between facets (Fig. 1f to h). • Type IV fracture: Fibrous metal, with very few reflecting facets (Fig. 1j) • Type V fracture: Framelike area surrounding an entirely fibrous center (Fig. 1k and m) • Type VI fracture: An unusual type, with a few small facets in a fibrous background (Fig. 1n, p, and q) [...]... of Silicon-Ferrite Crystals, Trans ASM, Vol 43,1951, p 906928; discussion, p 929-934 E.P Klier, A Study of Cleavage Surfaces in Ferrite, Trans ASM, Vol 43, 1951, p 1935-953; discussion p 953-957 The Transmission Electron and Microscope and Its Application to Fractography, in Fractography and Atlas of Fractographs, Vol 9, 8th ed., Metals Handbook, American Society of Metals, 1974, p 54-63 V.K Zworykin...
