Fracturing as a sample preparation method of basalt for SEM analysis

I. Gembitskaya,

Abstract: The article discusses a method for preparing basalts for HR-SEM analysis. This method involves fracturing samples under identical conditions using an Izod pendulum. Fractures propagate in a sample mainly along the grain boundaries; its cross pores and mineral inclusions, which are stress concentrators. That is why submicron mineral gains are revealed on fracture surfaces rather than on polished surfaces. Surfaces of fresh fracture were studied in basalt samples from the Etna vents and Tolbachik fissure zone. C… Show more
