Interfacial Fracture
Clean Nickel-Interface Fracture
A simple interface-following fracture image where the fracture path is easy to see before adding the complications of large voids or mixed-mode failure.
Interpretation
Why this image matters
The fracture path is easy to identify without heavy interpretation overhead. This is a clear baseline example of interface-following fracture.
It works well as a comparison case next to more complex interface failures where voids, contamination, or mixed fracture paths are also present.
It also works well for fracture-path recognition before moving to more ambiguous images.
