What is sacrificial fragments?

Sacrificial fragments are small, expendable pieces of material that are used in various industries to protect larger, more valuable components or structures from damage or wear and tear. They work by absorbing the stresses and forces that would otherwise be applied to the valuable component, thus preserving its integrity and extending its useful life. Sacrificial fragments can be made from a wide range of materials, depending on the application, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. They are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and mining, where machinery and equipment are subjected to high levels of wear and tear. Sacrificial fragments may need to be replaced periodically, but they are a cost-effective way to protect valuable components and reduce maintenance costs.
