Low magnification view of the WHEEL 1 fracture surface. The thickness of the wheel in this position (flat and paralell to the wheel face) is about 2.5 mm. The aspect of the fracture is similar all through the fracture perimeter, including the region where the fracture propagation changes the direction.

The scanning electron microscopy image presents the surface of the spring (top of the figure) where it was broken (the fracture is in the bottom of the figure). It is possible to see that there is a product at the surface and the material presents intergranular fracture, suggesting there was a hydrogen embrittlement effect. Important to observe that the material does not present pits.

Fractographic detail of the longitudinal Charpy V testpiece, broken at -46°C and presenting energy of 64J (the average energy of three tespieces was 70J). The Charpy V testpiece was removed from the center of the bar. The micromechanism is quasicleavage and the test in this direction presented energy values superior than the minimum requirement of 45J.

Fractography of the Charpy V testpiece, transverse section, broken at -46°C and presenting energy of 20J (the average of three results was 33J). The coarse structure and the alignement created a condition for low energy results in this specific direction, and the material did not present the minimum requirement of 45J.
