Xuecheng Zhang, Guanghao Guo and colleagues present a characterization method for analyzing metallurgical fracture processes that addresses the limitations of conventional 2D imaging acquisition by providing a comprehensive visual depiction of fracture surfaces in 3D space. The method involves in situ tensile testing of IN718 alloy specimens at different temperatures, capturing real-time changes in morphology using high-resolution electron microscopy imaging, and reconstructing 3D models of the fracture surfaces.
