Macrography of a stud longitudinal sectiion at the fracture position (top of the figure). It is possible to see a large secondary crack at the bottom of the thread fillet adjacent to the fracture surface, without any deformation evidence. This reveals a brittle material behavior, although the hardness measured at the stud end revealed 33HRc, as should be expected by the material specification.
