R ESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Fractography analysis ractography is the study of fractured area to analyze characteristics and relate surface topography to underlying causes or mechanisms of fracture. This analysis often requires detailed examination using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) [18, 19]. In this work, the fractured zones of 10 selected specimens (see Fig. 3) were cut from the whole specimen using wire-cut electrical discharge machining (EDM) after performing single point incremental forming. The fractured surfaces were then examined using SEM (see Fig.s 4 and 5). F
