Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Ferrite and Pearlite
Micrographic detail of a longitudinal section of the bolt at the bottom of the thread fillet, presenting a plastically deformed ferritic pearlitic structure. This analysis was conducted far from the failure and the structure was created by the cold forming process to manufacture the thread.
