ML00098 — Brittle Fracture of a Casting Lifting DeviceM - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - CastingAp - LiftingCd - Brittle Fracture
Micrography of the lifting padeye showing a dendritic path of a quenched and tempered martensitic microstructure. The segregated regions (white interdendritic regions) are more clearly identified in low magnification. Voids are located in these segregated regions.

M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - CastingAp - LiftingCd - Brittle Fracture
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Martensite
Micrography of the secondary crack, paralel to fracture, starting from the internal diameter of the padeye. The crack propagates in an interdendritic morphology, interconnecting casting defects.
