Metallurgical Failure Analysis: Techniques and Case Studies explores how components fail and what measures should be taken to avoid future failures. The book introduces the subject of failure analysis through two major parts. Part 1 deals with the 'Fundamentals and Methodology of Failure Analysis'. The mode of failure is an important aspect of any failure analysis. This is understood by the study of fracture surface. Hence in this part a chapter is devoted to fracture and fractography of metals and alloys. In addition, the tools and techniques used in a failure investigation are...
