Abstract

A channeltron electron multiplier array has been used to detect exoelectron emission during the the fatigue cycling of aluminum. This provides the first two-dimensional visual display of the onset and development of fatigue damage. Exoelectron emission is detected in less than 0.1% of the fatigue life and increases in intensity with continued fatigue cycling; final failure occurs in the region of most intense emission.
