The characteristics of broken surfaces were r esearched by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a reflection microscope, a nd the fractal dimensions of broken surfaces were measured by the Slit Island me thod. The experimental results indicate that the broken surface of aluminum elec tric porcelain is a fractal body in statistics, and the fractal dimensions of br oken surfaces are different with the different amplification multiple value.In a ll of measured fractal dimensions,both of values measured in 100× under reflect ion microscope and in 500× under SEM are maximum, whereas the values measur ed in 63× under reflection microscope and in 2000× under SEM are obviously min imum. The fractal dimensions of broken surfaces are also affected by the degrees of gray comparison and the kinds of measuring methods. The relationships betwee n the fractal dimensions of broken surfaces and porcelain bend strengths are tha t they are in positive correlation on the low multiples and in negative correlat ion on the high multiples.
