Description: The fracture surface shown in this image is a good example of a ductile fracture surface. Broken voids can be seen which coalesced around Mg2Si precipitates in the material. The surface is a cross-section after fracture of a tensile specimen machined from 6061-T6 aluminum plate. The image was taken with an SEM using an Everhart-Thornley detector biased to detect both secondary and backscatter electrons.
