This reference guide or undergraduate text shows how to determine, by analyzing metallurgical failures, the validity of a product design. This revision of a successful work features new techniques in electron microscopy, testing fracture toughness, and fracture mechanics. Describes destructive and nondestructive techniques regarding their advantages, limitations, applications, and meaning. Written to be understood by all engineers concerned about component failure this edition approaches typical problem areas from a physical and mechanical viewpoint. Describes the relationship between the practical and the theoretical, so that failure analyses can best be resolved and failure recurrence prevented. Maintains English and SI units throughout.

Good text, but useless pictures,

This review is from: Analysis of Metallurgical Failures, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
The pictures in this book are of so poor quality, that it is most of the time impossible to interpret them. They are just a black blur... One should think that the publisher of a book in failure analysis would emphasize good quality of the pictures, but sadly not. In this line of study it is critical to have crystall clear pictures to understand basic principles for how to interpret the microstructure of metalls in microscopes. This book fails to deliver
