Abstract

Five methods for determination of the crystallography of transgranular, environment-assisted fractures are described. The application of these methods is illustrated in order to obtain the macrocrystallography and microcrystallography of fractographic features.

Keywords:
photogrammetric methods, cracks, crystallography, corrosion, electron channeling pattern analysis, etch-pit characterization, crack-feature replication, trace analysis
