ASM is proud to present the revised ASM Handbook, Volume 12: Fractography, an essential resource on all aspects of fractography for materials evaluation, failure analysis, and quality control.
Volume 12 Print | Digital Edition
The new Volume 12 offers comprehensive information on fracture types and appearances, visual examination techniques, imaging methods, quantitative fractography, surface profiling, and fractal analysis. It details the morphology of fracture surfaces at various scales, highlighting markers and patterns that reveal insights into fracture causes and processes. Additionally, Volume 12 explains how loading conditions, operating environments, and material properties affect fracture modes and mechanisms in materials such as cast irons, steels, nonferrous alloys, plastics, ceramics, polymer-matrix composites, and welded or soldered joints.
This edition's significantly expanded coverage of fractography, with 17 new material-specific articles, necessitated dividing the 1987 edition into two volumes. This led to the development of the standalone ASM Handbook, Volume 12A: Atlas of Fractography, scheduled for publication in 2025.
