Cm - Kalling Etched MacroDf - Cracks
Micrographic detail of the cracks at the fusion line, associated to the partially melted region suggesting a liquation effect in a material that presented low ductility. After opening the cracks they propagate brittle into the base metal and created a solidification cracking in the weld metal, detailed in the next figures.
