NIST releases expanded 'fractography' guide for analyzing, understanding material failures

Monday, September 19, 2016 - 08:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Studying the fractures of industrially important materials such as ceramics and glasses provides important clues on why these materials can fail and how to make them more durable. The practice of "fractography," however, has been an underutilized science. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working to change that.
