ASM Handbook, Volume 12: Fractography (Asm Handbook)

Provides engineers with enhanced capability for recognizing an interpreting the various features of a fracture. The Atlas of Fractographs, which comprises the second half of the volume, contains more than 1,300 fractographs. Supplemental illustrations of failed metal-matrix composites, resin-matrix composites, polymers, and electronic materials are also included. Over 1,900 illustrations and 41 tables.
