Abstract
This article presents fractographs of pure irons that show evidence of overload, fatigue, and embrittlement. Woody fracture, microvoid coalescence, cleavage, and stress rupture are seen in the overload failure images. A large inclusion is seen in the fatigue fractograph. Embrittlement images show an impact fracture with intergranular rupture and transcrystalline cleavage.
