Extract
X-ray diffraction observation of metal fractures provides fracture analysists with useful information on the mechanisms and mechanical conditions of fracturing. This method is called “X-ray fractography” and has been developed especially in Japan as a new engineering tool for fracture analysis.
In the present paper, X-ray fractography is applied to fracture surfaces of ductile cast iron (JIS FCD 60) which are widely used as machine parts. The fracture toughness tests were conducted at ambient and low temperatures by using compact tension (CT) specimens with blunt notches and three-point bending (TPB) specimens with fatigue pre-cracks. The line broadening of X-ray diffraction profiles was measured on and beneath fracture surfaces of fracture toughness specimens.
