SAMPLE 1 AT THE FRACTURE - Micrography at the position where the thickness is reduced to zero. Side A to the bottom. The microstructure is austenite with intergranular and transgranular precipitation. The position of the zero thickness presents aspect of an intergranular fracture, and in side A there are several intergranular cracks from the surface.

Cm - Oxalic Acid Electrolytic EtchDf - Austenitic with Secondary Precipitation
SAMPLE 1 AT 1 mm THICKNESS - Micrographic detail of the austenite with secondary precipitation. This oxalic acid electrolytic etch is revealing the integranular and transgranular (or intragranular) precipitation. In the grain boundaries it is possible to see: 1) a continuous network of carbide precipitation and 2) isolated islands of sigma phase. In the middle of the grains there are rounded and neddles like carbides.
