Crankshaft fatigue fracture. Metal surfaces can be analyzed in a number of ways, including by spectroscopy and EDX used during scanning electron microscopy.The nature and composition of the metal can normally be established by sectioning and polishing the bulk, and examining the flat section using optical microscopy after etching solutions have been used to provide contrast in the section ...
