ML00074 — Hydrogen Cracking of a 17-4 PH Subsea BoltM - Precipitation Hardened Stainless SteelP - FastenerAp - SubseaCd - Hydrogen Embrittlement
Macrography of a longitudinal section of the broken bolt, at the fracture position, showing that the fracture is partially flat (left side), where the macroscopically aspect is brittle, and a final ductile fracture (right side). Interesting to note that there is a large longitudinal crack, secondary (transverse to the fracture surface).

Cm - Kalling Etched MacroDf - Longitudinal Section
Detail of the brittle part of the bolt fracture, presenting a secondary cracking longitudinal to the bolt axis.  The region of the bolt at the bottom of the thread (close to the surface) is brighter than the internal part of the bolt suggesting different fracture mechanisms.
