Freeze fracture-etching examples

The most powerful method for the identification of the different phases and for the determination of their microstmctures is the transmission electron microscopy. This method requires a sample preparation using the freeze fracture and etching technique. With these measurements the microstructures of the various phases can be visualized directly. This is shown for three examples in Fig. 11.12 (Section 11.4.2) and in Figs. 11.30a and 11.30b [13,41, 97].
