How to create a precrack

Submitted by Joe cherian on

Dear Fellows,

 

I am trying to develop a new testing method for analysing the interfacial fracture toughness.The problem I face is to create a precrack. 

 

if I use a stainless steel substrate and TiN or chromium coating on it, which is the best method to create a precrack?

 Please give your sugestions.
