摘要
The aim of the present letter is to measure the fractal dimension, D, of a fractured titanium surface, by several methods, and to show the consistency of these measurements. We also suggest a possible use of secondary electrons for a rapid measurement of D in a scanning electron microscope. The fractured surfaces for such a study were from a titanium 6211 (Ti-6Al-2Nb-1Ta-0. 8Mo) tensile test specimen. We obtained the fractal dimension of this specimen by three different methods.
