Fracture formation in DP6 in a process having the following parameters: Tmin=−156.6°C, H1=100.0 °C/min, H2=106.0 °C/min, H3=14 °C/min, H4=30.0 °C/min. The temperature is shown at the top-left corner of each photo. Top-left: radial fractures form near the vial wall (the temperature is measured at the center); top-right: the fracture front propagated about one half of the radius; bottom-left: the fracture reaches the center of the vial; bottom-right: fractures edges heeled at the beginning of rewarming.
