X-ray diffraction observation of the material internal structure beneath fracture surfaces provide fracture analysis with useful information to investigate the conditions and mechanisms of fracture. X-ray fractography is a generic name given to this technique. In the present study, X-ray fractography was applied to fatigue fracture surfaces of austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304) which consisted of solution treatment. The fatigue tests were carried out on compact tension (CT) specimens. The plastic strain on the fracture surface was estimated from measuring the line broadening of X-ray diffraction profiles. The line broadening of X-ray diffraction profiles was measured on and beneath fatigue fracture surfaces. The depth of the plastic zone left on fracture surfaces was evaluated from the line broadening. The results are discussed on the basis of fracture mechanics.
