Fractography involves the examination of fractured surfaces to determine the origin and mechanism of failure in metallic materials. The analysis is performed using stereo microscopy enabling detailed characterization of fracture morphology and features associated with different failure modes, including ductile overload, brittle fracture, fatigue, corrosion-assisted cracking, and stress corrosion cracking.
The service is typically applied in failure investigations and engineering assessments where understanding the root cause of material failure is required.
