Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Ferrite and Pearlite
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the bolt at the bottom of the thread fillet, presenting a plastically deformed ferritic pearlitic structure in a very small extension from the surface (about 0.1mm). This analysis was conducted in a position far from the failure and the structure was created by the cold forming process to manufacture the thread.

Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Strain Hardened
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the bolt at the thread fillet adjacent to the fracture, presenting a ductile cracking from the bottom of the fillet, propagating with a strong plastic deformation. 
The deformation lines of the cold formed process (thread cold rolling) are also deformed by the cracking propagation.
