ML00080 — MIC of Stacking Disc SpringsM - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - SpringAp - SubseaCd - Brittle Behavior
Microscopic detail of the fracture surface in the position where the fracture is intergranular, probably due to the MIC attack creating an embrittled condition of the material. A surface film is evident in this position suggesting that the fracture remained open and exposed to the environment during a certain time before the failure was detected.
