ML00080 — MIC of Stacking Disc SpringsM - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - SpringAp - SubseaCd - Brittle Behavior
Microscopic detail of the fracture surface in the position where the fracture is intergranular, probably due to the MIC attack creating an embrittled condition of the material. A surface film is evident in this position suggesting that the fracture remained open and exposed to the environment during a certain time before the failure was detected.

Fracture micromechanisms. Intergranular fracture in the top of the figure (close to the groove) and transgranular fracture in the bottom of the figure, where the mechanism changed to transgranular by quasecleavage.

Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Intergranular Fracture
Microscopic detail of the fracture surface where it is transgranular, by quasecleavage. This aspect is similar to the one expected for this high strenght material without any embrittlement.
