Brittle Fracture of a LAS Valve Spring
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - SpringAp - Oil and GasCd - Brittle Fracture
Cm - As polished micrographyDf - Multiple cracks
Micrography of the longitudinal section of the stud showing internal cracks, secondary (not the cracks that opened the fracture). It is evident that the cracking from the thread fillet, of a ductile aspect, presented a different aspect than the internal cracks, of a brittle aspect.

M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Allen StudAp - Oil and GasCd - Hydrogen Embrittlement
Cm - As polished micrographyDf - Cracks
As polished micrography of the external surface of the tubular equipment, close to the fracture position (it is to the top of the figure), showing corrosion fatigue cracks. These are multiple cracks, paralel to the main fracture, slightly branched and fully filled with oxides.
