1. Fractography 2. Metallography 3. Micro- and surface analysis Collect relevant materials data: a) Chemical investigations - composition of the materials (+XRD, RFA) - analysis of oil, fuel, etc. - H-analysis b) Mechanical testing - mechanical data: yield strength, UTS, elongation to fracture, notch impact test - fatigue properties (HCF, LCF) + corrosion - stress corrosion cracking - creep - crack growth measurements - residual stresses Apply nondestructive testing methods: - ultrasonics, eddy current testing,
radiography, visual inspection, magnetic powder inspection Example: Premature fracture of a shot peened connecting rod during fatigue testing

- Analysis of material ↔ Microstructure !
- Microstructural defects • due to manufacture • due to operation conditions
- Microstructure: primary + secondary damage
- Metallographical investigation: • microsection (destructive) • orientation of the microsection plane Example 1: Fracture of a turbine blade in a jet engine Example 2: Verification of overheating in a turboprop-engine Example 3: Premature fracture of a shot peened connecting rod during fatigue testing Example 4: Cracked lugs from a generator
