Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting / machine part fracture
German term or phrase: Bruchausgan
The text is an anlysis of a shaft fracture. I translated it as "fracture site", thinking "exit" didn't sound right. But later in the text the term "Bruchbereich" also translates as fracture site.
What is the correct term for "Bruchausgang"?
Thanks to all the specialists in the field.
