Quote: "Generally the bubbles were created near to the cracks, see Fig. 2. This result indicates that the formation of the bubbles is tied to the formation of the cracks. " ...eh no, it indicates that the formation of the cracks was tied to the formation of the bubbles. Clearly in fig. 2, the cracks originate at the bubbles then spread outward. This is to be expected when a hot plasma forms locally due to considerable energy release, creating pressure on the surrounding metal, resulting in cracks spreading out from the point of maximum stress. In short, the cracks are not the cause, they are the effect. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
