The figure is an example for how a fracture surface of this material looks like.

Fractography is the study of fracture surfaces of materials.

"Hachures", are the lines on fracture surfaces which show crack direction.

Fish-eyes are bright patches named for their appearance seen on fracture surfaces, generally of weldments.

Once solidified, the resulting bar is bent to expose a fracture surface.

Mixed fracture surfaces can be characterised by a certain percentage of adhesive and cohesive areas.

Sandy deposits in the inner parts of the fracture surface indicates that the bread was broken apart before its discovery.

Below the point of impact on the core is a characteristic bulb with fine fissures on the fracture surface.

The history of a fracture can be understood from a study of the fracture surface.

Secondary mineralisations cover the central fracture surfaces and the mylonitic edges.
