Fracture Prevention in Metal Components

Necking is the main characteristic of ductile fracture, where the cross-sectional area of the material decreases while the length increases.

The basic sequence in a typical brittle fracture is: introduction of a flaw, slow and stable crack propagation, and sudden rapid failure.

Techniques for detecting fractures include visual inspection, x-ray and ultrasonic testing, and magnetic particle inspection.
