Failure of a Prestressed Concrete Steel Strand
M - High Carbon SteelP - Wire RopeAp - StructureCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Cracks
Micrography of the branch cracking parallel to the fracture. There are several secondary intergranular cracks and the cracks are filled with zinc. The zinc appears dark because of the Nital etch, and the steel close to the cracking is not fully revealed because of the protection by the zinc.

Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Cracks
Micrography of the section transverse to the weld, presenting one crack at the edge of the tube. This is not the best direction of analysis because the cracks are parallel to the analyzed section. It is possible to see the crack from the surface, large and filled with oxides.
