Ductile Behavior of an Aluminum Wheel
M - Aluminum Silicon MagnesiumP - CastingAp - AutomotiveCd - Ductile Behavior
Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Fracture
Macroscopic view of the fracture in the pipe body. In the bottom of the figure, the fracture of the pipe shows a thicker thickness, revealing that this is the pipe region that was first damaged by bending (buckling). In the top of the figure, the fracture shows a (ductile) shearing mechanism and the thickness is thinner, as will be better observed in the macrography.

Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Fracture
Aspect of the male part of the coupling, a pin, presenting the thermal spray layer detachment (right side of the figure). The pin was manufactured in a superduplex stainless steel tubular forging; the external surface was partially coated by thermal spray and machined. The sealing is only elastomeric but a coating is required to avoid galling between the two materials of the coupling.

Macrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe at the fracture position, in the thinner thickness. The external side of the pipe (OD) is to the left side of the figure, and the internal side of the pipe is to the rigth of the figure. The fracture occurred by shearing the pipe in a single event (probably due to tensile stresses during removal).
