Aspect of the broken shear pin that was manufactured in a martensitic stainless steel forged bar, machined with the external diameter of 50mm, the internal diameter of 20mm and the shearing diameter of 25mm (shearing thickness 2.5mm). The fracture, in the right side of the figure, is not fully flat as should be expected for a shearing mechanism.

Aged microstructure of the HP stainless steel, modified with 1%Nb, cast fitting, tubular, operating for 6 years in a furnace which design temperature is 1100°C. The material presented a network of primary carbides, white and grey, and an austenitic matrix with coalescing secondary precipitation. Some voids. The Vickers identation indicates a hardness value about 260HV 100g in the aged austenitic matrix.
