Abstract
METALLOGRAPHIC observations on the fatigue damage of β-brass in reversed bending have been reported1. A characteristic type of damage was observed in which short markings appeared, normal to, and sometimes on both sides of, some grain boundaries. These markings did not have the same traces as slip within the grain and formed adjacent to, but not in, the grain boundaries.
