Scanning electron fractography showing that the fracture micromechanism is intergranular close to the surface of the pin, suggesting a hydrogen embrittlement effect at the carburized layer. The cracks were created during the electrolytic plating, and propagated later during service.

Micrographic detail of the weld metal presenting 100% of acicular ferrite. Although the adopted filler metal was of a low strenght type, the dilution of the tube chemistry in the weld created a typically high strenght weld metal.

Micrographic detail in higher magnification of the weld metal presenting 100% of acicular ferrite. It is interesting to observe that the previous austenite grain boundary can be seen but there is no primary ferrite in the grain boundary.
