Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Fracture
Aspect of a broken 5/16" bolt that was operating inside the pressure vessel in a condition that exceeds the limits of use of the AISI 316 steel. The fracture is located close to the position where there was the bolt head and the threads were "removed" close to the fracture surface.
