Title: Fractals in Metal Defects Post by: C.K. on July 04, 2013, 01:19:53 AM Hey everyone,
I thought you'd all enjoy seeing some of this. The following images are details of internal defects in a sample of steel that I took at work with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). When I was looking at them I was thinking of all the funky shapes I've been looking at lately in M3D, which makes sense since fractals are used in fractography anyways (though this isn't, technically, a fracture. It's non-consolidation at the center of a large casting). Micron bars are provided in the upper right for scale. The piece we're looking down on is about 1/8" x 1/8" (.32 cm x .32 cm). All discrete information has been removed from the images, so no worries there. Enjoy!
