The SEM images of A’ marked by red frame (magnification × 800) show fatigue striations, suggesting crack origination. The morphology of the yellow frames (magnification × 350) represents a fatigue crack propagation. Ductile dimples at the blue frame (magnification × 180) indicate a dynamic fracture region. These photos are taken in our own Biomechanical laboratory
