Aspect by scanning electron microscopy of the brittle fracture surface. in a low magnification view. The fracture presents smashed regions (conditions imposed after the fracture was opened) in the region where the chevron marks indicate it is the failure starting point.

Brittle Fracture of a 420 SS Barrel Nut
M - Martensitic Stainless SteelP - Barrel NutAp - LiftingCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Brittle Fracture
Fractography of the roller bearing, close to the external surface. In this position the fracture of the cylindrical roller bearing shows micromechanisms of decohesion at large carbides (cracked) and quasecleavage, typical of overloading this high strength tool steel (martensitic with carbides at 64 HRc).

ML00148 — Brittle Fracture of a 420 SS Barrel NutM - Martensitic Stainless SteelP - Barrel NutAp - LiftingCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Observing in higher magnification it is possible to see that the fracture presents a mixture of ductile and brittle micromechanisms. The intergranular mechanism indicates that the material is embrittled and the dimples indicate localized overloading conditions.

Brittle Fracture of a 420 SS Barrel Nut
M - Martensitic Stainless SteelP - Barrel NutAp - LiftingCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Fracture
Detail of the ductile dimples and the brittle intergranular micromechanisms. This evidence (a mixture of mechanisms) suggests that the embrittlement is localized in some regions of the material.

ML00131 — Brittle Failure of a Soft Roller BearingM - Wear Resistant SteelP - Roller BearingAp - Mechanical IndustryCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Aspect of the roller bearing fracture surface, by scanning electron microscopy, close to the internal surface. In this position the fracture shows ductile micromechanisms (dimples) as well as decohesion of large carbides and (brittle) cleavage facets, typical of overloading this low strenght, and low toughness, ferritic structure (21 HRc). The structure in this region, ferritic with large broken carbides and small rounded carbides, is of a low toughness, as indicated by the fracture.
