Abstract This chapter first reviews the fracture and fractography of metals and alloys, with examples of typical fractographs. Then the tools and techniques used in failure investigations are briefly described. The second main part of the chapter is devoted to three case studies on aeronautical component failures. Each case study is described with background information, followed by experimental results consisting mainly of visual examination, fractographic examination, metallographic examination, hardness measurements, and chemical analysis. The results are then discussed and conclusions are drawn. Wherever possible, suitable remedial measures are suggested.
