M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - SpringAp - SubseaCd - Brittle Behavior
Cm - Fracture Surface AspectDf - Brittle Fracture
Microscopic detail of the fracture surface in the position where the fracture is intergranular, probably due to the MIC attack creating an embrittled condition of the material.

M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - SpringAp - SubseaCd - Brittle Behavior
Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Intergranular Fracture
Microscopic detail of the fracture surface in the position where the fracture is intergranular, probably due to the MIC attack creating an embrittled condition of the material. A surface film is evident in this position suggesting that the fracture remained open and exposed to the environment during a certain time before the failure was detected.
