Fracture of oxide films on strained aluminium

Abstract
The mode of fracture of anodic film on aluminium has been examined. It is concluded that the films are reasonably elastic and that when they fail there is ‘slip’ at the film metal interface. There is no evidence of crack propagation from film to metal. The etching behaviour of strained aluminium can be explained using the present results.
