Micrographic detail of the forging lap defect that appears at the nut surface like a crack, filled with oxides. The nut presented a martensitic structure in the center of the nut, but in the regions adjacent to the defect the structure is ferritic-bainitic due to decarburization. There are several globular oxides (grey spots) that became entrapped during the forging.

ML00099 — Forging Defect in a Cadmium Plated NutM - Medium Carbon SteelP - NutAp - PipingCd - Fabrication Defect
Micrography of the nut in a section transverse to the surface indication. There are several microcracks (parallel and perpendicular to the nut surface) filled with oxides. The nut presented a martensitic microstructure in the center of the thickness and a ferritic-bainitic microstructure at surface and adjacent to the defect, due to decarburization occurred during high temperature forging.
