CHARACTERIZING FRACTURES BY ELECTRON FRACTOGRAPHY PART V. SEVERAL FRACTURE MODES AND FAILURE CONDITIONS IN FOUR STEEL SPECIMENS.

Abstract

The fracture surfaces of four quite different specimens were examined by electron fractography. The specimens were obtained from a large, thickwalled, steel pressure vessel which had been hydrostatically fatigued to failure, a very large steel tensile specimen tested at -100 F for a fracture propagation evaluation, scabbing caused by the impact of hypervelocity projectiles against AISI 304 stainless steel and spheroidized 4340 steel plates.
