ML00148 — Brittle Fracture of a 420 SS Barrel NutM - Martensitic Stainless SteelP - Barrel NutAp - LiftingCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Observing in higher magnification it is possible to see that the fracture presents a mixture of ductile and brittle micromechanisms. The intergranular mechanism indicates that the material is embrittled and the dimples indicate localized overloading conditions.

M - Martensitic Stainless SteelP - Barrel NutAp - LiftingCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Fracture
Detail of the ductile dimples and the brittle intergranular micromechanisms. This evidence (a mixture of mechanisms) suggests that the embrittlement is localized in some regions of the material.
