Brittle Fracture of a 420 SS Barrel Nut
M - Martensitic Stainless SteelP - Barrel NutAp - LiftingCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - General View
Microscopic detail of the cracks at the surface of the pin, close to the fracture. It is possible to see that the cracks are not associated to plastic deformation at the surface. Instead they are brittle and associated to regions where the material lost the passivation (dark grey stains at the surface). Some cracks that already opened (a little) showed deformation at the tips.
