Failure Analysis: 12 web pages from ASM

It is not true that there is nothing good on the web. There are a dozen web pages originally from either books or magazine articles floating around as Acrobat (.pdf) files that can be downloaded, either directly from ASM or elsewhere.

Six of these are from the magazine, "Practical Failure Analysis", which recently was renamed with the broader title of the "Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention".
