Results of work on fracture properties of porous dealloyed gold structures indicates that this material undergoes a brittle-ductile transition as the size scale of the porosity increases. Aspects of the work reported on and proposed address fundamental issues related corrosion in alloy systems. De-alloyed film induce brittle fracture experiments are being performed on Ag-Au and Cu-Au alloy thin sheets. An indirect potential drop technique is being developed to measure dynamic crack motion. Preliminary work is being performed to determine optimum conditions for film thickness-crack penetration experiments
