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.

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.

SAMPLE 3 AT 4 mm THICKNESS - Micrography in the center of the thickness. The microstructure is austenitic with secondary intergranular and intragranular precipitation, but this micrography was obtained in the longitudinal section, presenting the plate alignment and was etched with NaOH, adopted to colour the sigma phase.

Cm - NaOH Electrolytic Etched MicroDf - Austenitic with Secondary Precipitation
SAMPLE 1 AT 1 mm THICKNESS, SIDE A - Micrographic detail of the austenite with secondary precipitation, close to the surface exposed to the process side. This oxalic acid electrolytic etch is revealing the sigma phase at austenite grain boundaries that is probably intensifying the intergranular oxidation, creating cracks and grain detachemnt leading to quick thinning.
