Aspect of the cracked valve body, after disassembling and removing the internal parts. The valve is part of a lot that was manufactured by forging a cubic 170mm from a forged bar in SDSS UNS S32760, and heat treated (solution annealed) by the forging company. The fabrication using these bodies included the machining, fillet weld two inserts in Alloy 625, machining again, assembling the internals, and pressure test at 15,000 psi. The cracking occurred during test, only for this valve body.

Image of the external surface of the valve body at the region where the Alloy 625 insert was fillet weld to the SDSS valve body. The surface was later machined, so it is possible to see only a mark indicating where the weld is. The brittle crack is arrested at the margin of the weld. It is possible to see strong deformation at the crack tip when it arrives the weld.
