M - CrMo SteelP - ForgingAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Welding Defect
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by SEMDf - Cracking
The intergranular morphology of the cracks, at the heat affected zone of the forging, indicates it is a cold cracking probably formed when the welded joint was not yet post welding heat treated. The actual hardness values at the HAZ is 270HV10, and when it was cracked it was probably a lot higher.
