Overview

New ways to prevent and analyze metal failure and fatigue A part in one of your company's machines fractures. But conducting a complete metallurgical failure analysis is simple because you have Brooks and Choudhury's Metallurgical Failure Analysis. It details how to analyze all the load conditions leading to fracture. . . covers the underlying microscopic fracture mechanism. . . pinpoints how to evaluate the fracture surface features to determine the cause of the failure. . . and more. In addition to authoritative definition,reviews of techniques,and case studies,you'll find. . . a wealth of fractograph examples,illustrating a full spectrum of fracture surface topologies. . . guides to replicas use and contaminated fracture surface cleaning. . . an appendix with a glossary of failure analysis terms and conversion factors.

Identifies the conditions that lead to fracture in metal parts, and explains the best methods for determining the causes of failure. Points out how macroscopic fracture features are related to the general aspects of solid mechanics, and how the common features found on the fracture surfaces of metallic materials are related to the type of loading that caused the fracture. For people involved in the design, installation, or operation of machines or structural components. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
