Chemical designation | ZnAl4Cu1 |
State | Overload fractur of a corkscrew |
When opening a beer bottle, the handle of the bottle opener broke off in the cross-section transition. The upper part is made of zinc die casting, only the drill is made of steel. The entire component was copper-plated and nickel-plated. The fracture is transcrystalline and predominantly brittle with alternating proportions of dimple fracture (quasi-cleavage fracture).
