Fracture Mechanics – from SGS Ludwig

Metal fractography offers critical insights into the source of fractures and can often identify the underlying causes of failures. Fracture mechanics considers factors such as material composition, manufacturing processes, design, and operating conditions.

Fracture patterns are categorized as ductile, brittle, fatigue, or environmental. We use macroscopic and macroscopic observation to investigate these patterns in more detail to understand the causes and conditions of your products fracture.

Typical configurations that SGS Ludwig can accommodate are CT, SENT, and SENB while adhering to ASTM E1820.
